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.

Elms is obviously brilliant and many people on here have excellent experience. My experience with Munich has been first class so far. I love the fact that they talk to you about the car in great detail. The service manager has just rebuilt his own M3 engine. They really know their stuff. I have some damning news about a main dealer but need more details before posting.

Lets just say, just because a car has full BMW history does not mean it's been well looked after! Except for Elms! I will never use a main dealer again... Elms excluded.

3.Salmon Relay
4.Can of 10w/60
5.Elms lap top for code reading
6.His tool kit
7.A good tow rope

Hopefully a lot of us will also take various bits and pieces.
