BMW Specialist Workshops

I'm taking delivery of a 2001 330ci in a couple of weeks, and have to start thinking about where I'm going to get the thing serviced. I really don't fancy lining the pockets of over-priced joker main dealers, so can anyone suggest a good place to go in the south of England (I'm actually around Southampton, but don't mind travelling a reasonable distance)? Needs to be trustworthy, respectable and reliable, and of course not look too out of place on the service history.

To the excellent Badger, if you read this - where are you based? Anywhere close-ish?

Many thanks in advance.

Fred

He gives Scotthall's in Southampton a good review, but I don't know how up to date it is. Mike.

John Burns is an excellent source. However, if you for some reason need more, go here:

Thanks for your input Gents ... however, is this really a total of all the specialist BMW workshops out there in my area? Has no-one tried anyone else, and had either good or bad to report? Please let me know ...

They don't appear to be exactly thick on the ground wherever you go in the country. AFAIK there are only three specialist garages within 50 miles of where I live in Sussex. The main agents, Vines, have a reputation of being not very good, and expensive into the bargain. The other two seem OK but I've no experience of either. Mike.

I'm pleased with the one I use in South London.
