    Any recommendations on a service for a Petrol '05 E90 in North County or city?

    Have had the car around 8 months so it's going for it's first service for me and not sure where's best. It'll also need a wheel speed sensor and two new runflats.

    Any reputable garage really.

    It doesn't need any special attention being a BMW or anything.

    Being the first time out I wasn't sure what they need, to be honest. I just remember a conversation about how I neglected service intervals on my last car, followed by a very firm "you won't get away with that on this one!"

    Courtney's in Ballybough.
    Motor Confidence just off the Naas Road.

    Both highly recommended.

    There's a few more too.

    I use Bloomfield motors on the south circular road for my servicing they are excellent and a reasonable price. I haven't been there in a few months I believe they have moved to a larger premises but they have a website if you Google them. Couldn't recommend highly enough

    Doesn't really bother me to stumble into Dublin 8 for a service if it's good quality. Northside normally means a shorter bus home to wait it out until I can pick it up!

    I've used Courtneys for years now and I am happy that I get a good, honest, well priced service from them.

    Got the service done yesterday and really happy. €175 for everything that needed doing, bar the wheel speed sensors, which is a more major issue because the driveshafts are corroded and causing wear, requiring repair. A quote of €400 to fix which even looking online seems really decent, even if only for repair.

    Cheers for the tips.
