Hello, don't exactly know how forums work so please be patient with me.
Bought a 2010, E89 s23i, named it Klaus (quicker than saying BMW) in the summer & still finding my way around it.
Having scanned through Indy garages, looks like my best bet would be ETAMotorsport at W. Kingsdown. Am also looking to get a wind deflector so any advice would be grateful.
Look forward to hearing from you.
P.S. If you see a blue 2010 E89 around Sth East, give me a wave.

Welcome to the forum
Also consider H&C Motors in Maidstone. I use them for my M, mainly because I live 20mins walk away, but also because of the PITA of getting the car to ETA and leaving it overnight for Insp 1/2 (M specific thing about valves & a stone cold engine). They are very good - honest, knowledgeable and reasonable. That said, ETA do have a very good rep

Thanks for welcoming me.
Will give H&C a look & yes love getting the roof down when the oppurtunity arises.
I'll try to get a couple of piccys posted.

That is the downside of ETA. Shame they don't do courtesy cars.Bing wrote: ↑Wed Jan 17, 2018 7:02 pmWelcome to the forum
