Predictably, it turned into a bit of a demolition derby, with a mere six cars finishing - and Sir Stirling Moss was less than happy with the outcome.

  BMW has turned down a claim by the owner of a 2005 BMW 120D in which the ABS/DSC module failed, leaving the customer with a bill of £1,613 + fitting. This is around 20% of the value of the car. The reason for rejecting his claim to goodwill over the cost of this safety-related part is that the customer bought the car used from a car supersite and, though it had been serviced by BMW dealers and an 'Approved' BMW service specialist, BMW felt that the history of the car did not justify any goodwill at all towards the repair.
