This whole saga went on far too long and was time consuming and stressful! I wonder how many people would have just paid up instead of being a stubborn dos like be but the end result IS the right result I believe

Well done Paul for sticking at it !
Now there is a precedent for BMW accepting this as a warranty claim hopefully the next poor sod won't have to go thru the donkey work you have had to.
Next job.....
Get the wheels done.
