Self levelling rear suspension and Bavaria Autowerk Aberdeen

Post by A Blair » Fri Oct 05, 2018 5:38 pm

The self levelling suspension has been intermittent for quite a while and finally packed up. As my schedule was hectic I thought I would try Bavaria Auto Week on Hutcheon Street Aberdeen. This meant removing the LPG tank as well. So while he was in their I asked for the rear PDC module to be replaced. Everything was replaced and the car returned. The only bug being Ally the owner and crew do not work Saturday s and as it was the first job I wanted to see it. It took about six weeks to recover the car. Shame really.

So was the experience good bad ?

Premier Motors in Hardgate have VERY good reviews and reasonable pricing

The job was well done but as I spend most of my time working away and  he will not meet me on a Sat morning thats not good for me. The owner guy is friendly enough.
I believe the Premier guy is an ex BMW manager of sorts so maybe he could be worth a shout. I tend to do most of my own work except where its specialised such as the level sensors and a new key programming. I mean programming and not synchronizing the central locking. I have a foxwell pro and some other software for scanning the car.

Where did you see the reviews for Premier snrbrtsn. I have seen him mentioned but not many reviews.

Does wonders with the M engines
Your correct, he is ex BMW
They just completed a gearbox swap on the neighbours 545, seemless work apparently!

Cheers for that.
I will check him out either this weekend or end of October.
I am enjoying X5, motoring and think it's worth while having a good relationship with somebody who is good with BMWs.
I have tried two others and the less said the better.
