e92 parts fitted at non BMW garages

briers · 05-13-2010, 03:20 PM

Hi all,

Hopefully i'll find a e92 335d soon. I will always get it serviced at BMW whilst its worth anything.

However i have a very good relationship with the service dep. and mechanics at a local toyota garage as my mrs does the accounts there. No labour etc and parts at, almost cost.

I haven't asked them yet as i don't have the car but would BMW sell them all the usual parts like brakes discs / pads / springs / bushes etc? And would getting them fitted there affect the value of the car in any way... i wouldn't of thought so as its not servicing?

Only thing a i can see would be the brakes as it will need reset

No probs getting genuine parts and fitting where ever

Resetting the service indicators can be done without any special equipment - only if the pad wear sensors have worn through does it need to be reset with Autologic or similar but the Toyota dealer will have that.

i don't see this as a problem.. if i was buying a car i am only interested in if it has been serviced, and a good number of people are like that too..

never understood why a dealer service commands a higher resale price, there is no sense to it..
