What an owner said
★★★★★
Top service from a true specialist. Dropped my e92 BMW M3 into RDM for rod bearing change, engine mounts and a new battery. Work was completed to an amazing standard but additionally the communication and attention to detail was superb. Literally hundreds of photographs of the work carried out, with all removed parts available for inspection and small issues not included in the original requirement resolved as well! Would highly recommend to anyone with a performance BMW.E92 M3 owner Google review
