Afternoon Chaps

I'm looking to send my E34 M5 there for some major repair work. Does anyone have any experience with them? The gentleman I spoke to on the phone sounded very decent indeed.

I've been trying to find a specialist who I feel confident in repairing my car and found these guys on a google search.

Thanks.

Not sure on maintenance work, but I've dealt with them for sourcing a part for my M5 in the past and found them excellent to deal with

I know my car was sent to Darjac in the past for maintenance, and think BMW Car magazine's E34 M5 went there too IIRC

I know David O pretty well and he and his setup are pretty good, wont charge a fortune and will resolve most jobs. He isn't Phil Crouch regarding his in depth knowledge especially of electronics and dampers but more than good enough.

Thanks for your input. Have to say his prices were very reasonable and he spared plenty of his time to discuss my requirements at length.

Also - I do not know of this 'Phil Crouch', I assume he's from another tuning company?

Another thumbs up for David
Can also recommend Mark Lloyd Jones @ Saxon Motorsport for engine building. He's just done a great 3.6 rebuild for me.

Phil Crouch who is based in Chorleywood (Herts) is probably the best man in the southern half of England for all M related issues, mechanical and electrical. He may not be the most timely, nor the cheapest....but he isnt silly money. However his service, setup and knowledge is vast, his staff are thorough and no problem is too big or small. Do some research on m5board.com and see what others have to say about him. A lovely guy too.
