Car dropped off yesterday for oil service... head gasket needs replacing and rear subframe is cracked... the people at Munich were very good, so far the experience is good... the cars for sale are gorgeous... M3 E30s, original CSL, E9 3.0 CS... it's so tempting to leave a deposit for one!

I thought my car was mint, with the full BMW history! I thought the slight rattle on start up was normal as it went when the car warmed up... anyway, once she's done she will be mint!

I'll keep you updated with progress and service from Munich.

Out of interest, what was causing the rattle on start up & where was the rattle coming from?

Rattle was from the intake manifold, the rattling and bad idling was due to the head gasket.

ML just carried out insp 1 and an mot on my 330 - thorougly impressed here.
Stuart is still there, everyone seems friendly, honest and very knowledgable.
I know of 2 other guys at work that have M3's that both use them...

I fell out with my main dealer Chandlers over damage they caused and wont be back unless I have to... (5 mins away).

I just might have come to an agreement on a csl at ML so they would be nice

Without going into too much detail Dan who owns the place gave me a full tour of the workshop area and facilities some time ago, all very keen, Dan is borderline 'M' obsessive and is a font of knowledge.

ELMS is the best place 10% discount
I would travel even if they where based in scotland, but lucky for me only 35mins away

I have been Munich Legends to give my M3 CS the once over and to get the paint readings measured. I was very impressed overall by them and was a 200 mile round trip.

I know Elms have a good rep on here but say u did travel from
Scotland that would make it much more expensive negating any discount. Surely there are other competent good BMW Dealers out there other than Elms ? And is heavily based on the M3 ....

Think lots use Elms, because unlike most dealers they try their best to get the warranty work done. No cutting off their nose to spite their face.
I nearly kicked the shit out of a bellend from my local BMW dealers.
It's not always about cost, its about peace of mind, and I would always pay a premium for that.
