Sad story OP!mj2k wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 9:36 pm Although I certainly won’t be returning to Cooper BMW Reading, or their other branches. But also despise Sytner, so am going to have to go indie now I think. Annoyingly wanted to keep a full BMW service history but thinking Munich Legends or Grovesnor might be the way forward, as BMW won’t be training people on these engines as already stated, become a plug in & fix level of mechanic.
I bought my 123d from a Cooper showroom in 2008, and wouldn't ever go near any of their sites again!
But when I had newer BMWs with Service Pack I always used Sytner, Sunningdale (even if the workshop moved to Ascot) and never had an issue with them.
Now my BMWs are older I have been using a BMW Indy in Camberley (so not too far away from you) for both of mine for the last 4 years or so, and I know of a couple of other forum members who go there - plus there is a courtesy car for £15 a day I think should you need it.
