• BMWs - They all do that, Sir...??? 16 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  Sorry to be a bit vague on this one, but it's something I've found so amusing and intriguing for the past day or two that I felt I had to get to the bottom of it! The mother of a friend apparently was sitting in traffic the other day in a fairly new BMW (May 2004) Sorry, as I say, I don't know which model - just that it's a beamer. Apparently smoke started to come from the car - I think from the clutch area - so the lady immediately called for assistance and the thing was taken to the BMW dealership.

• BMW X3 - Motor Insurance Claim - Unfair Market Valuation 14 Oct 2012 (Forum)
  The engineer kept referring to the fact they have seen many vehicles on autotrader much cheaper and suggested the BMW Dealer was charging too much for the vehicle.
