Question ZF Service/independent recommendation

Where do you all go for your independent services, and specifically gearbox services these days? Anywhere south of the M4 is fine. Thanks!

They may not be near you but BM Connected in Braintree were on point with my F31 335D Xdrive- Full gearbox and Xdrive service along with other few things done in a few hours waiting. 1hr 30min commute to get to them but was worth it.

They pretty much deal with these cars all week and definitely will use them again.

+1 for BM Connected - top service and fully knowledgable on this service.
He has literally done thousands and uses all ZF parts and fluids.

I had my suspension replaced and my gearbox serviced at Birds in Iver, Buckinghamshire - ok it's just above the M4.

TGM sport in Fleet serviced my F10's gearbox quite a few years ago. Believe from forum users he's done quite a few since.

Really improved the box as it was a little jerky between Reverse and Drive.

Autoworks Services in Swindon are excellent and I've been using them for years.
