Darren Wood BMW Specialist (NW)
Just got my ZM back after spending a night and day at Darren Wood. I wanted then to give a few potential issues a look over and confirm if I did indeed have warped disks.
Well I now know I have warped front disks and I also needed 4 tappets for valve clearances which were also checked.
Top service all round and bar the brakes a clean bill of health. They were also loved my car.
Would recommend highly!

He is not far from me,and we do a little work now and again with him..
There a good lot of lads..
As regards warped discs..... its a bit of a myth,its usually bonded deposits on the disc surface. With braking sequences,this can be gotten rid of.
Unless the discs are heavily corroded of course.

Re: Darren Wood BMW Specialist (NW)
I've been and they are willing to help but couldn't get to the bottom of the vibration I get in my car intermittently. I realise its intermittent and odd to reproduce but had hoped they'd have some thoughts on it. I gave them a few quid for at least getting it on the ramps for me and I think they'd be fine sorting out things that are obvious or for servicing but I don't think they're that equipped for some very specific issues like drivetrain vibration or whatever the bloody hell is causing this.

Re: Darren Wood BMW Specialist (NW)
I've never had a warped disc.
I've had a 'warped disc' feeling after heavy braking over prolonged laps on a track day, but that's disappeared after a couple of days of normal driving.
