Anything else they can do, and they'll do it well. What's the +/- ?? Well, you get great service, technicians you can actually speak to, a willingness to go beyond what's normally required, adaptability, people who take great care over your car, and an absolute wealth of knowledge far beyond that of the regular BMW main dealer. They have four technicians, all BMW trained, led by a chap called Dennis who was one of the BMW UKs best Master Technicians. He left his old job because he was tired of having his hands tied due to politics and a narrow-minded works procedure. Of course, the other upside is the labour cost, which is almost 50% less than most BMW main dealers!! Downside? It's not BMW main dealer, so just a Birds BMW as opposed to a main dealer service stamp.
