Inspection I & Inspection II
Full marque-spec scheduled service stamped in the digital book — same intervals, same checklist, the dealership uses, with parts to OEM specification.
BMW · the marque we cut our teeth on
Most of the cars on our forecourt last week wore a roundel. Independent BMW work, properly tooled, by technicians who left the dealer because the workshop politics were louder than the engines.
BMW competence
From the E46 to the latest G-series.
If it's an E46, an E60 or an F30, we have probably had three of them in this month. The newer G-series cars need an online connection during coding, and we have one. Our long-term clients run everything from a tidy 1-Series to an X5M with the V8 we never got bored of listening to.
BMW work is more than diagnostics. It's knowing the cooling system on an N54 will not forgive a missed coolant change, that the timing chain on an N47 has a known life, that an E92 with a clunk on lock is almost always a worn anti-roll bar bush. We've collected those small certainties for over a decade.
What we cover
BMW services we do every week.
Coding & adaptations
Battery registration, throttle adaptations, steering-angle calibration, comfort coding (folding mirrors, daytime running lights, video-in-motion). Done online where the latest software requires it.
VANOS & valvetronic
Stretched timing chains, rattling VANOS hubs, weak oil-pressure switches, and the eccentric-shaft sensor that makes a Valvetronic engine run rough. Common faults that we have seen, costed and fixed properly.
Cooling system overhaul
Expansion tank, water pump, thermostat, hoses — the package job that saves an N52 or N54 owner from a head-gasket disaster six months down the line.
EGR, DPF & turbo work
EGR cooler replacement on the diesels (the recall-and-beyond list), forced regen for a clogged DPF, and turbo replacement with the inlet-pipe upgrade where the original is known to crack.
Suspension refresh
Lower wishbones, anti-roll bar links, rear ball joints — the wear items that quietly age a chassis. Refitted with OE-spec parts and a four-wheel alignment afterwards.
A quick promise
The bits that matter on a BMW invoice.
We will price the job on parts you actually want. If you would rather a genuine BMW expansion tank than a Hella unit because you've had one fail before, we will write the genuine part on the quote. If you would rather a Bilstein damper than the OE Sachs because you're keeping the car for another decade, we will quote that. Nothing on the invoice is a surprise — and nothing comes off the car without you knowing first.
The 180-day workshop warranty applies to BMW work the same way it applies to everything we touch. If a part we fitted gives up inside the warranty window, we replace it without an invoice and run the diagnostics again to make sure nothing else caused it.
