I’ve used these guys http://www.autowerxbmw.co.uk/ with my previous Z4 and e46 M3 and most recently the inspection 2 on my Z4MC.

Can I ask how much the Inspection 2 was? I'm frequently in MK. Thanks.

Can't remember exactly, but under £500 with me supplying the engine, gearbox and diff oils. I shim chart was supplied at the end and photos of the cam cover off while the work was being carried out at my request were also supplied.

Evolve Automotive in Luton is top notch, but be prepared to pay... :thumbsup:

I used Deutsch Tech in Wolverton for Valve clearances... as they had a good reputation.

I can't recommend them though as they tried charging me £80 quid for a new rocker cover gasket that they never fitted...

Another vote for Autowerx. Had my Inspection 2 done there recently, which also came with a valve clearance report. Great price, great service, and will gladly answer any questions.
