Dick Lovett Bath

As we're normally quite good at slating dealers, here's a slight change......

My wife has a Summer only Z3 which I'd seen needed a new rear plastic screen before it came out again. Looked online but thought I'd see what BMW could do. Pleasantly surprised that they could supply a genuine screen and fittings by the next day with no fuss and at a fair price for an OEM part.

On a roll, I offered up the remote key for it with a missing battery cover assuming a complete replacement required. Not at all, cover and two hidden screws ordered for about £4!

Really pushing my luck, how about a cigarette lighter socket to replace the cracked one in my 650? Easy, that'll be a tenner please!

Deeply impressed, well done!

what was the damage on the rear screen just out of interest? Might need a new one myself.

About £220. Came with all the bits and bobs needed to expose and unzip the old one before getting stuck in with the new!

Never had a crack at something like this before but ready to give it a go.

I bought a car once from Dick Lovett in Hungerford, they were very good as well.

I've used my local branch of Dick Lovett BMW (Swindon) for parts for the last decade. The parts team have always provided excellent service and the longest I've ever had to wait for a part is a couple of days. They have also been willing to discount certain items to remain competitive with the like of Euro car parts etc..

are the BMW parts prices not the same at any dealer? Usually it's the attitude and labour times charged that tip people up, so I'd expect the same delight at any centre for your purchase surely?

Through the 90s and into the 2000s everyone that lived on our road boycotted the st Coopers in Reading and made a 40 minute each way to Hungerford Garages (Before they became DL). Much better and had the nice small dealer feel.
