Fantastic response from BMW(not)..Dealerships set their own prices not us. And the best line...."We can't guarantee the life of any part". Sounds like their testing procedures need an overhaul....

And they have also forgotten their two year warranty...

BMW must set a base price with an RRP as they are all usually the same, any discount offered is up to the dealership. Tried Soper?

Not tried Soper yet. I did reply and reminded them of their guarantee and asked them for their base price, so I could understand if was the stealer adding an excessive mark up or if it was BMW...if they reply I will let you know.

Why bother?

My roof doesn't move at all, and it's about £1000 :poke:
