Default Help - looking for good BMW specialist (Lothian area)

Hi all
I friend of mine has just heard the worst news - his pride and joy a 2.8 z3 engine is bust.
The engine overheated due to the water cap coming off (he doesn't know how/why).
He's only had the car for 2 weeks.
The garage its at thought all was required was a new gasket.
But, after a bit of skimming and a new gasket the engine won't hold compression etc etc.

Anyone know of a good BWM specialist who would be able to fit the problem, i.e. replace the engine?

Any thoughts?
Your help would be very much appreciated,
Cheers
Kenny

Thanks mate for that suggestion.
I think my mate is trying them - but I believe they are expensive.
