    BMW workshop in Christchurch?

    Hi, over the past few years official BMW motorrad in Christchurch seemed to have been passed on. Where can I now get a full service on BMWs?

    Thanks in advance.


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Hmmmm, I believe Rastuscat could answer this in more detail

    ...But I believe he takes there work Beemers to a place off Princess st & Clarence st...sorry I can't name the place mate.

    PM Rastuscat, he will be more than happy to point ya in the right direction of the local BMW service guys (ive sent him the thread link, so he should pop on soon an help out...he's good like that)

    Ha - funny. Pretty sure they had BMW before going to Honda a few years back. They do churn through their brands ....

    True, but you sound like you're slagging them off....."churn through their brands..." They are one of 'good guys' shops...always have been.

    Nah - had nothing but good service there when I've been in and I've not read anything bad on KB (I know!!!!).

    Brands - list them - they have had more than any other single long term shop in CHCH that I can think of. On the positive side they will know their bikes well


    Anyone know why the BMW car dealer let go the bikes? Maybe the riff-raff hanging about reduced car sales? BMW was a the Yammy dealer in Ferry Road last?

    Must be time for a arvo off to do the shop rounds for a perve, I don;t have the free time through work like I did 3 years back.


    Hmm should start a 'best dealer in CHCH' thread .....

    I believe they struggled under the Honda only requirements, so now they aim to service everything.

    Been great guys to myself and a couple of friends when we've needed work done down there.

    I think it was more that Honda required a certain finance company on all hp agreements and although Hamptons had better options (better for the buyer) , Honda were adamant ....so Hamptons ditched Honda

    As a South Island flagship Honda shop when first setting up there was long term Honda expectations for expansion into Honda watersports etc. That shit stopped with the global financial turn down. So I was told. Probably all tyres of corporate wanking goes.

    One thing that can be said for swapping brands is the product knowledge. The Hamptons and Mark in the workshop have seen everything and know all the wee quirks of each brand.
