    Only one answer from me: Motor Confidence, Knockmitten lane. Did a good few bushes on my e36, was very happy with the work. This guy sees BMWs day in day out. No better guy.

    You could do it yourself? If you click my username and have a look at my threads there should be a diy guide i did on a 3 series.

    RTAB's can be done at home on the drive if you have the right tools for the job, that being said they can also be a pita to get out some times at which point you'll need a bush removal kit. You will also need to factor in a wheel alignment after they're done. Drop Valdas of Motor Confidence a PM and I'm sure he'll quote you happy .

    tbh, any decent mechanic can replace the rtabs, its not a big job. Theres no real need to go to a bmw specialist. Spend the money on the alignment afterwards as it's much harder to get a good alignment done than getting rtabs replaced. I use Dave McCann in blanch, no better at alignment.
