• BMW 3-Series E46 (1998 - 2005) - A/C condensor punctured 1 Sep 2007 (Forum)
  He wanted the car for half a day at least. I spoke to another specialist who wanted £250, but said explicitly that the condenser would a BMW compatible condenser, but not a BMW branded condenser. He wanted the car for at least a day. Spoke to another specialist, who is yet to get back to me. Do these prices look ok? Would it be feasible for me to get the part down myself, fix it and then get it re-gassed, effectively paying only for regassing (which seems to cost about £45)?
• BMW 5 Series split alloy wheel 11 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  Her local dealer are saying that there is a slight dent on the rim where it looks like she may have hit a pothole and the resultant puncture (run flat tyres) has weakened the alloy and then its "weakest point" has broken as a result. She has phoned BMW direct and they are sticking to the same story. On closer inspection of the tyre at Kwik Fit, the tyre is not punctured anywhere.! She has asked them if they are happy then with her to go to the press and say that BMW are saying that if you have a slight dent on your rim, then your wheel may split in two!

• BMW breakdown 15 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Then he says: "But the car was only in for a service yesterday! " I left him at the side, as he phoned the BMW dealer. "Thank god for MotorPlan," he said. Seems coincidental that the problem came up the day after a service. Obviously BMW would have checked such things - especially as they are in for the bill if things go wrong ...
