I would be very weary about these guys (Ceeraj M)

Friend of mine had a E46 330i Prefacelift. the engined seized as it starved for oil

his dad always took his car to them to repair so he took it to them to get the car fixed
they advised an Engine replacement which they did.

Issue 1
- car was loosing powersteering fluid afterwards.
- they did not tighten the Pipe to the Powersteering pump so it leaked.
- I helped him diagnose and Fix this issue

That was not the worst of it

Issue 2
- the Battery light kept on flickering while he drove the car.
- Turns out, They decided to STEAL his original bosch alternator and put on a Chines branded aftermarket Alternator
- I sent him back to demand his Original one back
- they gave it to him and i helped him install it and no more flikering lights

THE WORST OF IT, which i never had the Heart to tell my friend

Issue 3
- He decided then to Rather have someone else Work on the car and started using my wifes Cousin SNGM
- Shabier called me 1 day to pop around to him and i saw My friends car there with the intake removed for CCV replacement
- turns out, Ceraj M Billed him for a 330i motor but they installed a 325i engine.

to This day i never told him as this would have tore him apart. He always asked me why my car pulls harder than his and i just said im not sure.
He wrote the car off beginning of this year and i was going to buy it from him to part out but knew it was not a 330i

So Yeah. thats the Only experience i know of regarding this workshop.
Others may have the best experience because you know cars and they cannot mess you about

but i think because he did not know anything about cars, they took advantage of him and stole from him.

Thank you guys who shared your insights and experiences. I'm relatively new to CPT and my car has just come out of plan so its good to get a feel of where to take it (outside of bmw) if and when work needs to be carried out.
