Have just bought a 55 plate 130i and looking for recommendations for who is most appropriate to look after it.
First job will be to sort the petrol smell when the tank is full - breather or Fuller pipe I suspect.

Bartley?
Brystone?
Iridium?

Anyone else?

Cheers

I used Brystone recently to have a droning noise checked out, which I suspected was tyre noise but wasn't sure. They came across as a professional, very well presented outfit. Based on this experience, I would certainly use them again.

Iridium always seem to be too busy to even answer the telephone, which is a shame as they're only up the road from me. So I wouldn't bother with them.

Never used Bartley.

Happily used Iridium a couple of times. Bit of a pain getting it booked in though, he is (or was) a one man band and very busy.

Only ever used Iridium over the last few years, they are excellent; not actually that convenient for me, but I go there as their knowledge is top notch and there's no BS.

Planning on dropping into Iridium as that's the best way I understand. I agree getting contact from them can be a challenge

Want some work done on my 135i. I was going to bin it for a M135i or even an M3, but can't justify
