If anyone is after a BMW specialist in/near Camberley....

Then I'd highly recommend giving Will at TWG a shout - http://www.twgautomotive.co.uk/contact.php

I'm nothing more than a happy customer as he doesn't seem to be well known on here I thought I'd give you folks his details.

He did the clutch on our Mini at a very reasonable price and after chatting to him about other things he's got a good level of knowledge. In at the same time was an X5 (E70) for swirl flap removal and various 5s and 3s.

ooo.. totally didn't know about them/him!

i have a niggle on my 3er, will certainly check him out.

does he do body work?

I don't know - I'd give him a buzz, as if he doesn't he's the sort of fella who would recommend a good alternative.

I used Will on my 5 series for about a year. He then purchased my E39 off me to use as his daily driver. An exceptional technician, trust me. He won awards at the dealership he was at and the reasons he left make an interesting listen if you get time. Suffice to say he was fed up with cars not being properly looked after at the main dealers. For example he did my pads and disks on the 530i and explained that then correct bedding in procedure should take about 40 minutes something he does on brake replacements himself to ensure correct seating of the pads onto the disk and transfer of material. Little things like that make a big difference to me and his attention to detail is important. He races carts as well (to a high standard) and is a petrol head himself. I am looking forward to using him again once I buy my next car.....

I've booked my 535 in to have the swirl flaps removed, had a long chat with him and he seems very knowledgable.

Well, the Mini is now back in next week for rear brakes, so will ask.

We did chat last time and after 10 years of BMWs we guessed he's probably worked on my other cars sometime in the past
