Same as an SV pretty much then.

Hmm. Thinking of getting one, but not sure I can afford the servicing. I've done the SV myself but I'd finance a BMW differently and would need the garage stamp on the book and a service every 4 months is pretty steep as I guess valve clearances come up every 16000 miles (14 months for me).

My understanding is that it doesn't work have to be a Motorad garage just a VAT registered mechanic. (Useful European law)
