I have not found one, and asking around no-one can recommend me on either.

Stay away from the dealer as they are robbing bastids!!

Thanks

Mr experience at the dealer's has been very good so far - but I don't want to pay their prices for an older car I've just bought for the wife.

I found PC Autocare listed on another forum
http://swinnet.com/ibs/indexa.html

Website doesn't say much, maybe I'll head down there and check them out

I used to have my mk5 golf serviced at Ultimate Cars in Cirencester.

His partner specialized in only BMWs

They are both very busy all the time which is a good sign

Try them on 01285655755 it's not too far from Swindon.

I've used both & have had no issues. I currently use Ultimate cars for my E39. Keith is really good and will always try to save you money e.g I had a parking sensor go and he sources a black one and then had it painted because it was cheaper than ordering the silver one from BMW

Just to update - they did a fantistic job with my E46 M3.
Inspection 1 service and a full gearbox change done at a great price and a high standard of work. Really impressed and will definatley use them again.
