Anyway good news that you will get your car back, just in time for spring
Well yes im out of pocket. I pay for a 3 litre turbo 2 seater convertible and I’m getting a 3 series diesel. Hardly the same is it?
It’s like going to a restaurant and ordering a steak, paying for a steak, but getting fish served. You hate fish, but technically you have been fed.
Now you have to go back to the same restaurant every day and have fish for 5 months.
A week or two waiting for a part is fine. 5 months is a joke.

Yeah, at least extend everything you’ve paid for by the period it’s been off the road as a starting point
Was in a meeting earlier, catch up soon

Well, funnily enough I had an email for bmw customer services offering me £500 “store credit”. Ie I can use it at any bmw dealership for servicing or lifestyle products.
I have replied and told them to recalculate or I will go to the ombudsman. Under the rules that they signed up to, they have to have spare parts for cars and nearly 5 months waiting for a part is surely a breach.
