• Fake wood dash trim 25 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  Hi all I've always hated the fake wood dash trim you see on top model Fords or as an optional extra on BMWs etc. but now all of a sudden I'm finding it much more appealing; classy even. (Maybe it isn't fake, at least not on BMWs, Mercs etc). Is this an age related phenomenon?

• BMW 420i X-drive - Advice on options at the end of a business lease 13 Mar 2023 (Forum)
  But the purchase price asked by BCA is actaully higher than I expected, I would be able to buy an equivalent car from a main dealer for less (with the benefit of a warranty). The question is do I find a way to keep a five year old BMW, or look for a new car? What are the likely pitfalls with a five year old BMW? If a new car, then what? I thought of an Audi A5 (before the new model arrives) but I recall the driving experience as being tremendously dull.

• BMW 320td - Taking finance company to court 13 Oct 2011 (Forum)
  It should be noted the finance company's instruction to the engineer was fairly leading and it was obvious what they wanted the outcome to be. I have corresponded with several BMW 'experts' that have suggested that the flaps can fail due to debris build up over a period of time (that is they can work loose etc), The report also suggests BMW have acknowledged this issue with improvements to the design although I have correspondence from them saying this is not the case.
• BMW 535i - Family MPV - but which to sell? 22 Mar 2011 (Forum)
  Against that the Beemer is a bit longer in the tooth (94K done,regularly serviced) but then again, all the depreciation is out of the car. BMW insurance £450/Golf £250 annually.The Golf will do 32mpg(urban),50mpg(extra-urban) and the Beemer averages at,as I say,24mpg. So which motor to sell? And what to get? I'm thinking sell the Beemer and get a 1 year-old Zafira....any ideas?

• MINI MINI One R50 (2001 - 2007) - 06 1.6 Con Rod Failure 16 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  I've trawled the web and found one similar case in the USA. And how much more do you think I might persuade BMW to offer me. Ultimately they are about to lose two customers - my wife who has lost faith in the car and me as I'm about to change my BMW 525 and will probably go Merc or similar now but not BMW! And any idea what might have caused such a dramatic failure?
• BMW 1 Series E81/E87 (2004 - ) - Dealer - Cancel or pay £2.5k more for new car! 16 Oct 2007 (Forum)
  Two months ago I ordered a BMW 118d SE via a broker, and had a signed contract back from the supplying dealer agreeing the specification and price. It was quite high additional specification. They phoned this week to tell me that BMW had removed some the options packs, that the specification had changed, and that it was going to cost me £2.5k aprox more, or they would refund my 10% deposit.
• BMW 1-series disappointment 10 Jun 2006 (Forum)
  Also the BMW system kept throwing up odd 'random' instructions - e.g. coming up to a left turn it would show a left turn arrow but say 'Bitte rechts biegen' (please turn right) before, a few yards later, giving the correct 'Bitte links biegen' instruction.
