Oh Mate !! ... After all the cleaning that you have done oke: .

But as the saying goes "everything happens for a reason" and the bright side is that in few weeks time you might be driving a 35i/35is.

I am considering the 28i as well for fuel economy reasons but I will have to test drive one first.

Hi Ben, you might as well get a 2.0i instead of the 2.8i as the engines are the same. The higher output is just mapping which you can get changed for a few hundred pounds

I think the 28i is a Twin Turbo 245bhp .... It is just a thought at the moment. I think I would need a lots of convincing from the 28i to leave my beloved and personalized 35i :wink:

Hi Ben, it's exactly the same as the 2.0i with a single turbo-ypthey can be mapped to about 270bhp

Sorry to hear the news Rob.

Good luck with finding a replacement, don't go and test drive a Z4M as you may fall in love with the S54......

Congratulations on getting your money back without a struggle.
Hope your search for a replacement doesn't take too long.
Cheers, Dave

Just read through this post - that's the second dealer that's coughed up after a major issue - good to read.

Hope you (and Mum) have a better Christmas and good luck now with your search
