Modern Classic BMW and Mini Care, Servicing and Repairs

Share this article

We at BM Automotive Solutions are used to working modern BMW and Mini models right up to brand new models fresh out the show room. But did you know we also cater for what we now refer to as modern classics, BMW’s from the 80’s, the 90’s and the early 2000’s. As well as the original BMW Mini first available in 2001, the R50/R53/R52 models.

We have many years experience on these models in every aspect, from diagnosing complex faults, servicing and undertaking any mechanical or electrical repairs. We have access to new genuine parts from BMW and also O.E.M aftermarket solutions where genuine parts may not be readily available or are uncompetitively priced. We have diagnostics and tools and access to wiring diagrams and even additional technical support should the fault be so complex that this would be required.
