As I mentioned on here before my car was due in for a service. It's fair to say Mr BMW had my pants down. As you may or may not know I own an E46 BMW M3 (one in the pic above). I've wanted one for years, specifically that model the specific options it has and colour etc.
So yesterday I took it for its first service with BMW since getting the car around Christmas, I got the car in a private sale so it's expected that a few things may need addressing.
The car needs new wishbone suspension on the front, a new sensor for my alarm the actual oil service doing and a few belts that had perished on the air con and something else amongst a few other minor things.
£2000 later and I'm a little gutted, to be fair the guys at the BMW garage we're a little sympathetic dropping nearly £200 off the actual price and showing me through the garage and explaining exactly what needed doing and why.
Like me they are keen to keep the car looking as good as it should, the recent prang I reported was also not included in that quote, they would prefer to replace the whole rear quarter panel as the damage is just too awkward to put right by usual means and wouldn't look as good as it possibly should. They recommend I go through the insurance for that. :)
