We will see how my dealer conducts himself when I get home from holiday - - a new car not prepared as instructed.
Ie Plates screwed on and not taped as instructed ! :thumbsdown:

CAR IS FOR SALE!
So I bought the car in May for 21.7k with 10700 miles. Sold it to Cooper after they crashed it and now with 15k on the clock they are selling it for 24k. Are M135i increasing in price I wonder :o

I would hazard a guess how much the repairs have cost!
£24000 - £21700 by any chance?

Nope - we had a 21% discount on the M140 with just about every option that came to 29k.

You're a free agent with cash in hand at the moment.

Did you ask what happened to the "tech" ?
I think it's fair to say that if you do buy from them and have it serviced with them, they will be ultra carefull !
Yep surely this is THE place to get a BM serviced, can you imagine the pep talk they'll have had in the workshop.. :lol
Yeah right. So if you had to send rotten food back in a restaurant several times and they ended up cancelling your bill because the service was so bad you'd be happy the chef kept his job and promote the establishment to "THE place to eat" from then on? :lol:

I'd never darken their doorstep again OP. Spend your sheckles somewhere where they don't need pep talks just to do the job they are (over)paid to do. :thumbsdown:

Not a bad result for you overall though so well done for keeping at it! :thumbsup:
