Yep Russel is a BMW Master Mechanic. I used to take my Alpina there - they were very good but forgot simple things when they were busy (could have been a single person who wasn't pulling their weight..)
I just liked the way he dropped everything (the first time) to get my vehicle back on the road. I had owned it less than a day and it died. CMW said they could look at it - in 3 weeks time. Russell said wheel it in and we're onto it - so I flat decked it over to him and the car yard sent me a loaner. I got it back 2 days later.
The second time it was leaking diesel and it was a long weekend coming up - he said to drop it in - diagnosed and ordered the parts - and I picked it up the next afternoon. He had 20 vehicles in the shop - I counted them - and he still found the time to get to mine - and remembered it from the previous visit 18 months earlier.
Anyways - that's the limit of my experience with him - my 2 cents worth.
I do most stuff myself, with the help of this forum. Heavy stuff like clutch re placement I send it out.
