Recommended dealers?
Discussion
Can anyone recommend a dealer in North Hampshire. My nearest ones are Dick Lovett in Swindon or Hungerford, Partridge in Eastleigh or Marshall at Farnborough, all about 30 miles away.
Or is there a good independent in the area?
Car is just coming up to three years old so will need a main dealer til then but then just trying to work out the best way forward.
Thanks.

Ross set it up a couple of years ago after 15 years at Sytner so worked on most of our cars when they were new.
If there is a downside it is that he seems very busy these days, but I take that as a good sign!
He's done quite a few jobs on my cars, including an Inspection 2 and replacement rod bearing shells on my Z4MC.
I've been very pleased with the qaulity of work and sensible pricing.
No affiliation with him, other than as a satisfied customer!

I live about 5 miles from partridge Eastleigh but tbh don’t have any kind of relationship with them and find them just like any other dealership.
On a new car purchase I just had them match carwow and from then on it was straight forward. For servicing I book online at whichever dealership is cheapest (and all prices online to allow for competition via BMW servicing webpage). Last year they did 20% off covid discounting and again partridge happened to be cheapest.
For parts / modifications I have used Cooper reading and Cheltenham so it really all depends on the need and the price per transaction.

Further to my previous post I just found some more recommendations for RBM Hampshire in case that helps you decide. He has a Mini as a loan car if you need it.
