I just picked up a 54 reg X3 and need to get the x drive transfer case and transmission serviced (not sure if they have ever been done), can anyone point me in the direction of a good BMW specialist?

The only place I'd go for BMW servicing is Eden Motors in Yeovil, 01935 474028. Dave has looked after my E36 323i Touring and E36 328i Sport and now my X3 3.0d for nearly 15 years and his work and customer service has been faultless, sourcing the most sensible solution rather than the new item high cost option when required. Can be a bit busy though, the price of being good.
Hope this helps
Yeah Ive read about Eden on various forums, but it looks like they are normally about 3 weeks out for a booking, which is quite a while. I might just take it to Westerly BMW to get the fluids changed (rear diff, transfer case and transmission)

I have an appointment for the Yeovil BMW dealer to do the auto trans fluid/filter change, but the dealer wont change the transfer case or diff fluid unless there is faults, so I have an appointment at Eden a few days later to get those done. Getting new tyres fitted tomorrow at halfords (using tyres I got through tyregiant via PH)

Also, is there a general auto parts store around? Back in the US we have places like advance auto and autozone where you can get oil/filters, wipers, brake pads/discs, etc. I have not seen anything like that around here yet.

Won't find better than Dave & crew at Eden.
Have you looked at EuroCar Parts?
Thanks for EuroCar Parts, never even knew about it!


Second question for everyone: Looks like Im picking up an Audi A3 1.8T, is there any Audi specialists in town or is Eden the one to go to for that too? (need to get a cambelt/waterpump/oil service done), nothing urgent, but I like to make sure my cars are in top shape.
