M6 Service options near Cheltenham ? (official BMW)

[sysop]

Hi guys

recently relocated to Cheltenham and have no clue as to who/what is nearby?

I have a M6 E63, still under extended warranty and I need an official service agent?

Any recommendations?

thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Cotswold Cheltenham
Cotswold Gloucester
Both are BMW Dealers :-)

thanks!

Any suggestions as to which are better? I have had a wide range of service quality at BMW dealers before, for example one quoting me £4k for work saying it wasnt warranty eligible, another ended up putting it all through with no prompting..

The previous owner of the car I have bought the car from Cotswold Gloucester and had it serviced at Cotswold Cheltenham so I presume Cotswold Cheltenham are good :-)

And he lived in Cheltenham :-)

Cotswold in Cheltenham and Gloucester will be the main dealer choice....

Alternatively take a look at Gloucester Independent BMW on Eastern Avenue, they use OEM parts from Cotswold and will give you a very straight forward view on things....

Won't offer you donuts or coffee in fancy cups, but will look after your car and the warranty will still be valid ...

Personally I've had them look after my ///M for the last 8+ years, they also look after our E34 540 and our Ford ST200. They've always be straight with things and left the final decision with us before going on with any work which wasn't requested up front... typically it will be along the lines of advice as to how much life is left in a component without scaring you in to having extra work done.

Holy fk that's a fair mileage you've racked up on your M5 there.

Have you had the rod bearings done?

LOL

It turned 217k yesterday on the way back from Nottingham....

And no to rod bearings ... still all original

Had a new water pump a few months back, MOT last month with no advisories etc.

Get's serviced when the lights tell me to... and other odd bits sorted when they need it rather than spending money on "potential preventative measures"...

Learned a long time ago not to worry about WWW folklore... especially with all E39 ///M5s supposedly having Vanos issues... Main dealer diagnosed the need for a new Vanos and my Indy sorted the issue with a new O2 sensor....

Glad to hear it.
