Lind's of Norwich Closing 1st November

[MikeO]

Bugger! I sometimes think I'm the only one on this forum who has a good relationship with a decent dealer - and now they're going to close!

Seems that Lind management (who are a large car dealership) aren't willing to invest the money in the motorcyle side of the dealership that BMW want, so they'll close with effect from 1st November. The 2 technichians, Spencer & Kevin, are going to set up their own servicing business, but will be unable to do warranty work. When they decide on when & where they're going to set up, I'll post the details. No other dealer is, at present, taking up the opportunity in Norwich. Anyone in Norfolk who needs his BMW serviced by an approved dealer will have to go to Peterborough (Balderstone's).

ps I get the feeling they may have quite a good 'closing down sale' on bits & pieces (don't know about bikes) - I'll post details when I hear.....

Probably can't justify the expense of staying open as their best customer's leaving the country....

well... maybe i'm the only other one on the forum then... because i get brilliant service from Balderstons in peterborough, and i dont think its because i'm a young slim racy bird who doesnt know where to stick the petrol.

Mike, for a wanderlusting motorcyclist like you, its only down the road. and if you travel over 100 miles for a pint, i dont think peterborough will be a problem.

whats this about you leaving the country?

Thought something was up ...

Suspect their closing down sale has already started.

Lind were the only BVM dealer to have a stall at the BMF tailender the other weekend. They were selling off all sorts of goodies.

Picked up a few nice bits and pieces for next to nothing. Shame to learn of the reason why though.

If you provide all the cash, I know me way round a set of spanners.

Not quite. Looks like I'll have to chip in the three quid I was saving for Princetown...
