My sons bmw has died in Papamoa, AA have said they will transport it anywhere in the Tauranga area. Where should they take it where it will get repaired at a reasonable rate. It's a 1996 328i, the AA call out guy suggested it was fuel or that old chestnut (the computer) so really could be anything. It started, ran briefly then shuddered to a halt. Not to start again, despite the AA's efforts. He has gone back to Palmy Nth in my old Estima camper, bit of a culture shock for him lol. Now wants to know where it can be taken so he can ride in it again without being taken for a ride.
are both great. I think Shersons will be closed for two weeks though, not sure about Julian at BM Autobahns hol plans.

Yup, Shersons Being a 328, it's either fuel pump or crank angle sensor. Both cheap enough to find and fix
