Went to BMW puffing white smoke they diagnosed and said turbo shot price to repair €1500.
Went to my mates Keith in MKW who said maybe not a turbo there is a valave that tends to stick. Sure enough he was right with new parts clean up and labour €600
Main delaer + known potential problem + poor daignostics = ripoff.
Mate is delighted and is going to bring all his business to the lads in MKW.
I know there is an issue with turbo's on bmw but that doesn't mean it is always defo the case.
Second that, MKW are the best shop for diagnostics and repairs. Saved a fortune on the main dealer rapists , somewhere in the region of 1000 euro. Don't bring your car anywhere else. MKW are what a good business should be.
