Reliable BMW service
BMW service and repairs
Routine maintenance and mechanical repairs to the engine, gearbox, drivetrain, brakes and suspension. The specific approach depends on the model, engine, history and current symptoms.
We handle both routine BMW maintenance and more extensive mechanical faults. The overview below shows selected areas of work. The precise scope can only be determined after inspecting the specific vehicle.
This is only a selection of the work available. We also provide other mechanical servicing and repairs for BMW cars.
Contact usRoutine maintenance and engine
Routine BMW service includes replacing engine oil and filters, checking for leaks and inspecting mechanical engine parts. The appropriate interval and scope are assessed according to the specific engine, its use and service history.
- engine oil and oil filter replacement
- air, fuel and cabin filter replacement
- engine leak inspection
- valve cover gasket replacement
- crankcase ventilation inspection and repair
- engine mount inspection
- mechanical engine repairs
- inspection and replacement of the auxiliary belt drive
- intake and vacuum line inspection
- resolving uneven engine running caused by mechanical faults
Timing systems, VANOS and turbo
The exact engine version matters: M, N and B engines have different designs and service requirements.
When there is a VANOS issue or loss of power, the specific symptoms, intake, vacuum and pressure lines, turbo controls, and turbo oil supply and return all need to be checked.
- inspection of timing system symptoms
- timing kit replacement
- engine timing inspection
- VANOS system inspection and repair
- turbocharger control inspection
- removal and installation of a new turbocharger
- intake and pressure line inspection
- turbocharger oil supply and return inspection
Cooling and water pumps
Where a faulty water pump is suspected, we assess temperature behaviour and coolant leaks. The inspection also covers the thermostat, radiator, expansion tank, hoses and bleeding of the system.
- cooling system leak inspection
- water pump replacement
- thermostat replacement
- radiator and expansion tank replacement
- cooling system hose and flange replacement
- cooling fan inspection
- coolant renewal and system bleeding
- operating fluid leak inspection
Gearboxes, xDrive and drivetrain
BMW automatic transmission oil changes are prepared according to the exact transmission type. We work on all BMW gearbox types, always considering their condition, history and the correct service materials for that version.
With xDrive, driving symptoms are assessed together with the condition of the transfer case, differentials, fluids, joints, shafts and drivetrain mounts.
- automatic transmission oil and filter replacement
- gearbox leak inspection
- service of mechanical parts in manual gearboxes
- clutch replacement and dual-mass flywheel inspection
- differential inspection and service
- xDrive transfer case inspection
- drivetrain fluid replacement
- inspection of joints, shafts and drivetrain mounts
Brakes, suspension, steering and wheels
When a BMW pulls to one side, wheel alignment may not be the only cause. Play in the suspension, tyres, wheels, brakes and the overall suspension condition are also checked. Likewise, braking vibrations can have several related causes that need to be distinguished through inspection of the car.
- brake disc and pad replacement
- brake caliper service and brake fluid replacement
- brake lines and hose inspection
- inspection of shock absorbers, springs and wheel bearings
- control arm, ball joint and bushing replacement
- steering and steering mount inspection
- wheel alignment and balancing
- complete wheel replacement
- inspection of vibrations related to brakes, wheels and suspension
Air conditioning, diagnostics and MOT
Diagnostic records are evaluated together with the actual symptoms and a mechanical inspection. The workshop looks for the mechanical cause of a fault but does not perform standalone auto-electrical repairs.
- air conditioning function and leak inspection
- service of mechanical air-conditioning components
- reading and evaluating diagnostic records
- identifying the mechanical cause of a fault
- vehicle inspection before MOT
- remedying identified mechanical shortcomings
- arranging an MOT inspection by prior agreement
Older and classic BMWs
With an older BMW, the overall mechanical condition, repair history and availability of the right parts are important. An initial inspection after purchase helps prioritise real faults and neglected maintenance.
- initial mechanical inspection of an older BMW
- inspection of leaks and operating fluid condition
- inspection of suspension, brakes and cooling
- inspection of engine and gearbox mounts
- mechanical engine repairs
- gradual resolution of neglected maintenance
- preparing the car for regular use
Newer BMW models
With newer BMWs, we combine mechanical inspection with the evaluation of diagnostic records. We service petrol and diesel vehicles from the E, F and G generations; the specific scope always depends on the model, engine, history and actual condition of the vehicle.
- routine maintenance, oils, filters and operating fluids
- mechanical diagnostics and engine repairs
- timing systems, VANOS, intake, turbochargers and cooling
- manual and automatic gearboxes
- xDrive, differentials and drivetrain components
- brakes, suspension, steering and wheel alignment
- pre-purchase vehicle inspection and resolving neglected maintenance
Advice and pre-purchase vehicle inspection
Before buying a BMW, we can assess its actual mechanical condition and point out faults, neglected service and repairs that will need attention. The inspection is based on the specific vehicle, engine, history and available documentation.
- consultation on a specific model, engine and typical weak points
- engine, leak and operating fluid condition inspection
- gearbox, clutch, xDrive and differential inspection
- brake, suspension, steering and wheel inspection
- inspection of cooling, turbocharger and accessible drivetrain components
- evaluation of diagnostic records in relation to the vehicle condition
- inspection of service history and visible previous repairs
- summary of identified shortcomings and recommendations on their priority
Vehicle restoration
For a complete BMW restoration, the mechanical work is planned according to the condition of the vehicle, the restoration goal and the availability of the correct parts. The work may cover the engine, gearbox, drivetrain, brakes, suspension, steering and cooling. Bodywork and paintwork are not included.
- initial mechanical inspection and restoration planning
- restoration of mechanical engine components
- gearbox and drivetrain repairs
- brake, suspension and steering restoration
- cooling system restoration
- replacement of operating fluids, seals and worn components
- phased restoration according to vehicle condition and parts availability
Frequently asked questions
BMW service questions
Do you replace timing systems on M, N and B engines?
Yes, after verifying the exact engine version and vehicle condition. For example, M47, N47 and B48 engines differ in construction, so the scope of work differs as well.
How do you handle suspected worn timing components?
First, the specific engine, service history and symptoms are verified. A reliable conclusion or scope of work cannot be determined by phone alone.
Do you handle water pumps and engine cooling as a whole?
Yes. The inspection also focuses on leaks, the thermostat, radiator, expansion tank, hoses and proper bleeding of the cooling system.
Do you change oil in automatic transmissions?
Yes, according to the exact transmission type and its condition. Before arranging a visit, the VIN, service history and description of the shifting behaviour are useful.
Does a loss of power always mean a faulty turbo?
No. Similar symptoms may also be related to controls, intake, pressure or vacuum lines and other components.
Do you provide wheel alignment, balancing and wheel replacement?
Yes, we provide wheel alignment, balancing and complete wheel replacement. We do not mount individual tyres onto rims.
What if I cannot find my issue in this overview?
