Hi guys, Can any one suggest me a reasonable bmw service place in north shore? I used to give in BM work shop, just wanted to find something near my place?

Thanks mate, I just wanted to know if they would fix a new seat or only second ones. I don't mind second hand ones, but I wish it could just match with my other seats, I will get back to them on this again. I meant problems problems since its going to be my 4th visit (after my car is fixed) and still its in the process of getting fixed, guess I got little frustrated by it. Thanks heaps for the replies, I will hit back to my panel beaters again.

I meant help in the sense of getting to know how the process works, I was wondering if they will fix a new seat. before going back to panel beaters, just wanted to have a quick check with you guys. This is going to be my visit to them after fixing the car. So I thought knowing how it really works would be good

Hi all, Problems problmes problems !! My car is giving me never ending problems. I was adjusting the passenger seat and the seat went out of shape, so got the car back to panel beater, they have fixed it now, but they have put a second hand seat now, which I am not really happy about since this seat is having lot of wear compared to rest of my seat. I also reported about the wobbling and they found problem in the RIM, first insurance company said its because of wear and tear of the car, but after a long discussion they agreed to do it. I had none of these problems before the accident. If there is a problem in the seat? will they only fix a second hand seat for the car?? can some one give me some advise here ?? My panel beater is saying he is governed by the insurance company and the asseser is upset since its crossing the budget than he assumed. Looks like my ride is totally compromised here, I have to get back to panel beater again, before that just wanted to get you guys view on this.

Thanks mate should do it soon.

Guys finally got back the car. The car looks very clean and drives very smooth now. I am happy with the way they have done the job. Couple of things I noticed, first when I apply break I find mild wobble in the steering. Second they have forgot to fix a beeding the top of the car, I will have to get that fixed sometime next week.

Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like they didn't have enough painters in place, which is causing the delay. They had bought the parts before inspecting the car, they had done the inspection from outside. Once they had opened it, they found extensive damage in the boot. Anyways still no luck waiting for the car.

Hey guys just wanted to update you guys I am still waiting for the car hopefully will get it today. What all things should I look at the generally after fixing it?

I completely agree, their workshop was fantastic. I better wait then, I will give a call to them and see

I am kind of tired with Autoprecesionwerks. I am struck half way now, I am not sure if I can pull out now as the parts are on the way. All I hope is they get it fixed properly. I need to give them a call on Monday to see whats going on? Do you guys think I can pull out now and get it fixed else where?

Yeah mate, they have ordered parts just by seeing the car. I am over 25 and have full cover still insurance companies are not ready to provide courtesy car. I am not sure if this is how the panel beater works here, I asked them what if you find some other part which is not in the order, they say, they would order it again, kinda weird for me.

Thanks for all your replies guys, just keeping it updated I am still having the car, Autoprecesionweks have ordered the part, just by seeing it from outside, they said in case they need more parts they would do it after they open the car, waiting for their call still. I am not sure what all parts are ordered, but I guess Autoprecesionerk does a good job. Guys after the job is done, what all should I check to see if the car is back to normal? currently its kind of pulling towards one side. If there is something wrong is the panel beater entitled towards making back to normal? Btwn I am planning to put a computer in my car, just started reading about, if you guys have comments on it please let me know.

Thanks guys, I am totally new to this. Sorry for those stupid questions, normally back in my place I give it to the dealers and those guys get it done from the panel beaters. Just went to Precesionautowerks, they have got a claim number from my insurance, they going to contact my insurance for the approval and once approved they will get back to me. The major surprise for me today is I wont have a courtsey car untill mine is done? why is this so? I spoke to the person in autoprecesionwerk, he says the floor of the car is damaged and the boot is damaged. I asked him, if the geometry of the car will be changed? he says that cannot be guaranteed? I am totally freaked out guys, just got the car couple of days back.

Mate is this better than the BMW service?

Do you guys think I should give to BMW itself? the new market one? Anyways its going to be a insurance claim, I should be able to give it anywhere to fix? I am sorry not the new market, the Takapuna Jerry Clayton BMW

I am in Auckland North shore Pjay

No mate it wasn't JORDY

Nick, I meant fixing it, where do you think they will do a good job?

Hey guys, I met with an accident yesterday, some one banged me from behind. luckily no one was hurt. But my car is quite damaged from behind, I would need to give it for service now. The guy who hit me admitted its his mistake and I am going to claim his third party. Where do you reckon I should give the car for service? should I give to BMW itself for service. Please help me out soon mates, I need to give it for service as quickly as possible. Cheers, Sprint

Thanks mate, I should start doing the upgrade soon. The car has done 67k and its an import. I need to check the leakage alone, other than that the car is amazing to drive.

Its the wireless one, but It doesn't look like it has the alarm in it. Its an Asian import, may thts the reason for it

You are right mate, Its just the mirrors, and the mags and I guess the exhaust too, not sure though. Then temp of the car looks ok, Is there anything else should I check to make sure if its not coming through the radiator?

Hey guys, I have attached couple of pics, didn't get much time to attach more pics, will upload more pics soon. I thought this had an alarm, but looks like its not, can you guys tell me how I can figure out if its there or not? Let me know if there are any cool DIY ?

Thanks for the reply mate I am going to post the pics soon, just got it today. The water looks like it comes from the middle of the car, but I should watch it for couple of more days to make sure it is from the same place. I see a Telephone button near the MID, what is that used for?

Hi all, I have bought the car now, its amazing to drive, I have been driving a 3 series all these time, now this one for sure gives a better ride. But I have few concerns, thought you guys are best source to advise. I have just one key as of, not even a duplicate key, how much would it cost to make a duplicate key. I see some kind of leakage after driving the car, I guess its water, should this be of a concern to me? Sh
