BMW KDS

[dxb335d]

Anyone know of any dealers in the essex/cambs/herts border who are doing any good prices/deals on KDS alignment check/set up at the moment?

Id happily travel around the M25 if there is any deals around there. Not keen on the 400 quoted by my dealer and feel my car is in need of one as tyres are wearing quickly.

Thanks for some locations guys. The people in maldon? are they BMW and what price? Do they use the same equipment as BMW if there are a smaller non BMW outfit?

Farrell aka Darjac Racing is based just outside Colchester can do a KDS check. Make sure you never pay more than about £70.

But for that price surely the kit is not as of the same quality and preciseness of a BMW kit?

BMW charge 400 quid. I want a proper job done and dont mind paying 200 ish but not really wanting to waste money.

PMW at Chelmsford have the Hunter kit, which is the same as BMW use..
They have done the alignment on my E92 last year and it cost about £100. £400 is outrageously expensive I think they have seen you comming. Specialist cars at Stevenage are £100 to check and another £100 to adjust making £200 in total.

So chelmsford Hunters. Sounds good to me as thats not too far. 100 is very reasonable.

Thanks Ken.

Carlos - if you want to use BMW to do the KDS, then I believe Stratstone in Old Windsor charge £199 (I think that includes VAT); but please 'phone and check first. As other have said, I think a good Indy will do at least as good a job and for less however.

Thanks mate, Not sure whether to try them or go for the chelmsford PWB people. I do need to do it ive had me new boots fitted today.

I have told you before that PMW have the full KDS equipment, you say you own a 335d you changed the tyres on the 8th july according to the posts earlier in the thread, either you cannot afford to run the car because if you can spend £800 on a set of tyres and not do a full alignment, you have a serious problem or perhaps you father cannot afford it! You are now whinging on multiple forums about tyre wear and do not have a clue about running a car. Are you a troll!

No Im not a troll, i think you are though. Bought this car with my own money and service it with my own money, whats your issue with my father? No other car ive owned had i needed to to a KDS for every set of tyres. Good for you if you do.
Ive owned cars since 17 years old and am now 24. This is the most expensive car ive owned. I have a healthy idea about cars/engines/turbos/servicing/tyres

thanks.

Pathetic post Ken. I suspect that is it not Carl who has the serious problem......

Carl was enquiring as to whether £400 was expensive for a KDS alignment. I believe from the responses above that it is. That's it. I'm sure Carl will make his own mind up as to where and how much he pays for it.

Thanks Matt,

I have enquired at PMB, but im not sure if its the exact equipment and up to date, i have found a BMW dealer who can do it for 300 incuding Vat. Not sure what to do next. Dont really want to keep chewing rear tyres up.

Ken has his own issues. Not sure what they are but he does seem to be a bit of an idiot.
