Booked my car in for oil service at Munich Legends... has anyone here used them? I have seen many good reviews for them...

Yeah I have, they are fairly local to me, know them quite well, Stuart is a top bloke, they looked after my previous M3 for years with no issues at all, i'd certainly use them again.Originally posted by thrashermax
Tho I tend to use Elms now, much like everyone else on here. -
Yes mine came from them, been stored one winter, had adjustable TMs fitted & geo (old school way), fitted exhaust etc oh and a £2k inspec II but as above I would use Elms now for major stuff. Munich legends is 15min drive for me and will prob take it there for my due oil service only.
Didn't think Stuart was there anymore as girl is now on reception (possible sex change?). Not been there in ages.Comment

Is Elms in Cambridgeshire? I'm in Horsham, seems a bit far to go...Originally posted by phoenixcsl View PostComment

I think Stuart is still there Alex, well he was a few weeks back when I spoke to him on the phone...though he might just concentrate on sales now...Originally posted by karbonkid View Post

I used Munich Legends for my e34 M5 fifteen or so years ago when Barney was there and then a couple of years ago to get my rear box bracket sorted due to the common snapping of the bracket. It sits on the wrong side of the flared join between the centre and rear sections.
The job seems to have lasted and although on completion I had to push them to their estimate price I was happy with them.
It would be nice to hear your opinions on them once you get the work done.

Car dropped off yesterday for oil service... head gasket needs replacing and rear subframe is cracked... the people at Munich were very good, so far the experience is good... the cars for sale are gorgeous... M3 E30s, original CSL, E9 3.0 CS... it's so tempting to leave a deposit for one!Originally posted by thrashermax View Post
I thought my car was mint, with the full BMW history! I thought the slight rattle on start up was normal as it went when the car warmed up... anyway, once she's done she will be mint!
I'll keep you updated with progress and service from Munich.Comment

Out of interest, what was causing the rattle on start up & where was the rattle coming from?Originally posted by thrashermax View PostComment

Rattle was from the intake manifold, the rattling and bad idling was due to the head gasket.Originally posted by CSLScot View PostComment

ML just carried out insp 1 and an mot on my 330 - thorougly impressed here.
Stuart is still there, everyone seems friendly, honest and very knowledgable.
I know of 2 other guys at work that have M3's that both use them...
I fell out with my main dealer Chandlers over damage they caused and wont be back unless I have to... (5 mins away).
I just might have come to an agreement on a csl at ML so they would be nice :whistle:
Without going into too much detail Dan who owns the place gave me a full tour of the workshop area and facilities some time ago, all very keen, Dan is borderline 'M' obsessive and is a font of knowledge.Comment

ELMS is the best place 10% discount
I would travel even if they where based in scotland, but lucky for me only 35mins away :thumbs:Comment
