Better with a replacement wheel but would have served as a decent spare with average repair around £45 / £60 :thumbsup:
Aye kinda gutted about that. Could've saved myself £550 :o

[quote="Adamski"]Got my car back today. It went in to Eastern BMW to get the last service brought up to an Inspection 2. It had an Inspection 1 around 3 weeks ago, but I got the diff oil, gearbox oil and spark plugs changed to bring it up to an inspection 2 :tumbleweed:
I thought part of an inspection 2 service on a Z4m was a valve clearance check ,which is why the service is so expensive.

Had a couple of bad experiences with Eastern with both my previous Z4M and current zed, needless to say they won't be getting any of my custom in the future. :thumbsdown:

No, both inspection services cover valve clearances. Insp2 has diff and gearbox oil changes, spark plug change and something else that I can't remember :oops:

BrianD - what went wrong? :?
