Hey Zebedee,
I'd be looking for- at the least -a free FULL service because of this (usually not until after 20K miles though) or something like the run flats tyre insurance thrown in for free (up to £1500 of cover for flats & malicious damage)

I certainly wouldn't settle for anyting less than that but I'd pitch for more initially

Good news, ish. Aparently all sorted and roof is operating as it should. Hooray

Apparently a 'hall' sensor and a limit switch along with some interlock (if I have understood correctly) all decided to go haywire at the same time making the car misbehave. Tested all the other circuits and allegedly all additional problems were as a reult of the former items failing and doing something or other to some ECU ?

Haven't got the zed back yet as the dealer is negotiating with another local dealer to get the stone chips sorted and then a proper valet. So here's hoping !!!!!!!

Oh, why is it that dealers never phone and keep you up to date ??

Had my car delievered yesterday morning...

...very similar story with the roof. Waiting to speak to the service dept. on Tuesday. Really frustrated. My motor wasn't new, had 3k miles on it, but the roof has two marks on it's struts, will post a new topic tomorrow about it, looks like rubbing marks. Are these common? Very upset about the roof not working....

[braingirl]

is there a common theme in low mileage AUCs? ...and the reason for the low mileage??

Maybe BMW should be putting more effort into making sure their cars are appropriate to sell?


I am sounding to much like a conspiracy theorist, so i shall stop now

Bought my car from the showroom , had a thousand or so on the clock as the dealership was playing with it on weekends. No issues in 26000 kms other then breaking a valve spring..(that means taking the engine apart ) and I do tend to drive the crap out of it some days like today, many complaints from the OH.. "why are we going around the corners so fast? " "Because we can dear, because we can... "

Hope your all sorted now ? as I felt similarly dissapointed but sure it won't be long before you'll be enjoying driving with hood in it's natural position that of down

Me, very happy as all is well (toucher du bois ) and having loads of great driving. Just wish the stone chips would go away !! Pity there is not some sort of protective colour matched nose cone to protect from bloomin chips.

There is, it's the 3M clear wrap just used for this purpose.

Sorry to hearthis tale of woe but stop talkng to the salesman please - they are pond life interested in nothing but retaining their commission payment. Go to the dealer principal as suggested and wave this Clause 6 under his nose as well as demanding an explanation as to why an alleged AUC car was in such a shocking state of readiness.
