    Awesome guys, well chuffed, car running like a dream after the inspection 2 and the teins are fantastic!(y)

    Anyone that does not have the teins fitted need to get them done, handles better than standard and just as comfy and well chuffed with the stance. looks the way bmw should have had it leave the factory!

    I come for the service level but stay for the banter lol(A)

    Out of interest did it require any shim's? Did you see a measurement results list?

    Where did you go for your InspII? Sorry, don't know if AI is a garage or similar.

    I took mine to the Country Garage and they weren't half bad, price wise. Service department was excellent and even gave me a further discount £100 when I returned to collect the car. Was just shy of £700, with me supplying the oil. I think I've only done about 50 miles in it since it was done in October. And most of that was the return Journey from B'Mena.

    Am I the only weirdo that prefers the standard m3 rims to csl's except on a csl lol.
    Beautiful rim but I just like the standards lol.
    Cool definitely throw a pic or 2 up. Will have to get a pic or 2 taken when I get mine sorted :)

    That changes matters somewhat. If they keep on failing even after a refurb. Teins and csl's would look pretty mint :) :)

    £700 and you supplied the oil :eek: Is that not pretty pricey even for dealers? I think most dealers on mainland are doing it around £500 no?

    No.

    One of the best quotes I got in Scotland was £1000. Down south, you're looking at £1200 for an InspII. NI Dealers were quite cheap in comparison, (y)

    Pretty sure a few guys on owner forums M3 cutters i think it was done a price comparison once and a few mainland dealers were doing good deals around the £500 mark, its a way overpriced service for all it is.

    I also had an full inspection 2 done at the weekend by Murray Auto's and Electrics in Eglinton. I supplied the oil and it was just under £500 that included fitting two rear bushes and an mot check. Very happy to say the least, however he did call on a friend (long serving JKC mechanic) when inspecting the shims. Car is running like a dream!!
