B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted January 25, 2018 Botany Motor Worx Ltd will cease trading as an Automotive Specialist repairer as of 12.05 pm tomorrow. It's been fun and there have been special moments which I've enjoyed sharing. But the time has come to enter a different time as the journey continues. I'll be around at the workshop over the next few weeks and may have a few bargains for the special people. Just give me a call first. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allanw 1071 Report post Posted January 25, 2018 Well done Glenn, and good luck! There's probably a number of things you'll be glad to see the back of, and I'm sure a bunch of really good people you'll miss. Overall, I'm sure you'll feel awesome, once the initial shock wears off! I'm happy for you! Enjoy it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted January 26, 2018 Glenn, enjoy your "retirement". Whilst you won't be working at the business I'm pretty certain that you will have plenty of projects that you will be working on that keep you gainfully occupied!

KiwiTT 23 Report post Posted April 19, 2018 Thanks Glenn for helping me get my BMW 330i M-Sport - I still love the car. Now to find another reputable BMW specialist who can do my next service. Not keen on going to a BMW dealer if I can avoid it. Recommendations? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko 2154 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 Curious with this as well, who is the recommended go to now? I was very happy with Glenns service, have the 330 booked in for a service with BM workshop, is there anyone else out there that has the bimmersport stamp of approval? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akapjay 41 Report post Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) While this thread's been dug back up @*Glenn* - here's a cool memory of my questionably styled Hellrot facing off against your NZ first Ti + M52B28 conversion (don't quote me on that) down Meremere. From memory, we faced off twice and had similar trap times and what a bloody good day it was. And another of you, @BM WORLD and I having a chinwag. Loved that 535i Brent! Good times.
