The Mini option in Oxford is my best bet at the moment.....

I'm beginning to doubt it more and more! If they lend me another Z4 and are honest then that would help!

At the moment an F20 116d. Its suitable for my needs, but I traded up from an e87 116d so am really paying for a Z4 and driving a 1 series!

If it has gone to Germany I hope its going to the shipping points on a car transporter and they're not driving it to and from the ferrys.

I told them I want it transporting and not driven. They said they note my request but cant guarantee it.

When I took the car in I took a photo on my phone of the mileage and also the fuel guage was on full, so I'll know if they lie to me.

If they want to use my car as a test to come up with a fix for other people, by all means keep it...give me a new one!

When I go to the dealer tomorrow I'm gonna ask for clarification on where its going, and how its getting there. Considering they started the process on Monday I think by Friday they should have made some progress!

Sorry... this is ridiculous. I cannot bare it when my car's go to a workshop beyond a 5 mile radius of my home.

True, but the nature of this problem is that they just can't fix it with the facilities at the dealer, so it needs more specialist stuff.....and such centres aren't all over the place.

What exactly they have at this centre I don't know.....is it just more powerful sprays?????

I'm not happy at it going away, but if it is transported then at least that minimises risk.

Going into the dealer tomorrow and will possibly be meeting with the DP so will see what happens.
