Vixpy / other e46 m3 owners

[Mahogany]

Hi,

Picking up an M3 this weekend.

Do you know of any good BMW specialists in the area? Don't fancy going to Sytner BMW in Sunningdale.

Cheers

I've had a couple of very bad experiences with a German sounding company in Wokingham, and would therefore strongly recommend you giving them a miss

[Mahogany]

Cheers for the heads up. What happened?

It's not in the area but I can personally recommend Phil at CPC (http://www.cpcpe.com/) if I end up with a BMW it'll be going there. I know that's also where Charlie takes all his ///M cars!

Would Irridium Engineering in Southampton be too far? Sean really knows his way around a BMW very well indeed.

On a positive note of who IS reliable, this is definitely the chap to use. As nonuts says, he's a tad out of the way, but well worth it.

Where you getting it from???

Not that he needs it, but another vote for Phil Crouch here.

Would you like to know what Phil's funniest comment to me was the other day? ah, I'll tell you anyway:

Phil said:

if you're going to look at an M3 and are worried about rust, take Rich along, basically his had rust in ALL the places you need to think / worry about

[Vixpy1]

Funnily enough I had the same convo

'You know Rich's, well don't let Ben buy one like that'

Did I tell you about the time he called Charlie a "stupid "?

I liked that better.

Phil, I've just bought an M635CSI

Phil replies 'you stupid '
