• Your favourite..... 5 May 2007 (Forum)
  First in an occasional series of fascinating posts ;-) We're here to talk about cars rather than moan about other road users so I thought I'd get things moving in that direction. What's your favourite BMW? A company with a proud heritage, producing many fine vehicles over the years, perhaps overshadowed by BMW bashing and the fact that they've made a huge sales success in the UK. Personally I love the old BMW 700 coupe from the mid 1960s.
• BMW 318se , Unlucky Thursday ? 11 Oct 2005 (Forum)
  Additional the dealer has prommised many things and not delivered , I honestly believe they think I will give up and walk away , well I have, but not without a fight on their hands for a full refund (maybe compensation too). Considering this maybe a fault in my area with radio frequencies I contacted my local BMW dealer to explain my disgust and there response was "There is nothing wrong with your car , that is as far as we go ". Warning To ALL! If you buy a BMW , borrow it for a week or so first to check in works where you live , because BMW will not help if it doesn't .
