Recommendations. This is meant to be a list of services (motoring related), created by forum members, for the benefit of your fellow forum members. There is one in every section, so please try and post in the relevant one. As long as you have more than 100 forum posts, we don't mind if you or a relative own the business (if you have less than 100 posts, but consider your business should be included, contact one of the moderating team). If discounts are available then great, but don't worry too much, its the good service/products we all want. There must be absolutely NO negative posts, as one bad experience does not necessarily mean a bad business If you have a complaint, contact me (Nigel) directly, faliure to observe this particular point will lead to the immediate suspension of your forum account, (because we're worried about libel issues), so please, if you have an issue, just contact me. ------------- Best Wishes Nigel |

So called Toby at "BM Mini Parts " to see if he had one / knew where i could get one as i had called the "Dealers "previously & was told £277.00 !!!! (unfitted !!! ) Toby bent over back wards to find what i needed as i couldn't give him a part number or anything He then talked me through the buying process on his web site ( you know me & computers !!! Picked it up at his warehouse & will be hopefully fitted tomorrow ready for going to Moffat So "BIG THANKS" -------------  |
He called me back to say he had called around to find out if the one he had would fit my car & discovered it could

BM Miniparts get a massive thumbs up from my son and myself. I've ordered parts for my 8 and my eldest sons 3 which have been both easy to buy and quick to arrive.......add to that the MASSIVE saving over dealer prices and you know it makes sense to buy from BM MINIPARTS Cheers, Alex

Bought new gear knob from Toby bmminiparts.com. Great service Toby, thanks for all your help, wasn't sure about changing from chrome trim to all leather, but it looks good on the car, so, very happy with it. Thanks again. ------------- Davie T31MUL |

Just bought new brake pads and discs for my B10 from Brake Parts Superstore ( http://www.brakepartssuperstore.org.uk/ - http://www.brakepartssuperstore.org.uk/ ). A pair of E39 front 540i discs and pads, and a set of rear 528i pads came to a total of £166.10 including £7.95 carriage by UPS (with tracking number) to the north of Scotland (a pleasant surprise since this location is notorious for getting ripped off by extra carriage charges levied by companies despite being on the mainland), free Mintex brake lube, a free Gunsons Eazy-Bleed one-man brake/clutch bleeding kit and a free vernier guage, which is far cheaper than either Euro Car Parts or GSF Car Parts, even without the freebies. I placed the order online on Wednesday evening (5th August) and the parts arrived today as promised (Monday 10th August), with email and text message updates sent to me throughout the process. Excellent service, I'll definately be using them again. ------------- 2007 Ford Mondeo 2.0 TDCI Titanium X Auto 1983 Ford Sierra XR4i 2000 Alpina B10 3.3 #118 1999 BMW 323Ci 1995 BMW 318i SE 1994 Vauxhall Omega 2.0 GLS 1995 Ford Mondeo 1.8 LX 1990 Honda Concerto 1.6 EX 1986 Ford Orion 1.6 GL 1989 Ford Fiesta 1.1 Firefly |

In my case the front discs supplied were made by SBS ( http://www.sbs.dk/index.dsp?area=84 - http://www.sbs.dk/index.dsp?area=84 ), the front pads by Apec ( http://www.apec-braking.co.uk/ - http://www.apec-braking.co.uk/ ), and the rear pads by Roulands ( http://www.roulunds-braking.dk/ - http://www.roulunds-braking.dk/ ), but according to their site they can also supply BremTech, Lockheed, Brembo, Ferodo, SA and Mintex.

http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/locations/edinburgh/" rel="nofollow - The Wheel Specialist I wanted an OEM finish on my 19" BBS M5 alloys which they have but when I was in the showroom, I saw a silver that I preferred (BMW take note) and had them done in that finish. Absolutely fantastic job and great service. Now these guys are not the cheapest around but I ask you, who wants to have their alloys refurbed by the cheapest route ? Finish is well worth paying for. They have branches all over the place and can do any colour, even chavvy black.
