Had the Z a week now. Love it 
First registered April 04 and bought from an AUC BMW main dealer. Collected by my gf.
Took it my local (different) dealer today as the hood was leaking a bit around the door seal I noticed when I washed the car for the first time. Imagine my surprise to be told that the hood had, in two places on top either side, worn right down to the canvas and was almost through and would start leaking soon - if not already!! Due to incorrect adjustment Quoted £2000.00 to replace and not a warranty item :thumbsdown:
This is on top the following:
1 Two service books. One fully stamped by main daelers but with one indy stamp. The other, supplied by the salesman as the indy tamp "should not be there" is missing the PDI satmp and supplying dealer stamp nand missing one service. Salesman told me on the phone that the two were identical and the nindy stamped it by mistake. I believed him as most would.
2 HPI say incorrect VIn (only noticed after getting home as not with pack of documents. They posted it to me
3 Arrived to collect and dent in door, hurriedly repiared (very well i actualy) by Dent Master or similar
4 Scratch on back for which I was given a cheque to get repaired when I got home. Fron apron badly scuffed but only noticed at home as it on bottom lip.
5 General condition of car was terrible really. Not realy well prepped and some scratches and bonnett chipped but it is 5 year old . Drivers seat scuffed on side bolster (Gliptone
)When complained the mangaer arranged for an army of bodyshop staff to polish madly, which sorted chips and most scratches in fairness so she could get home.
I realsie it is a nearly 5 year old car and not a daily driver but am I being picky or is this just a bit to shoddy. What do I do about the hood also.
Any help/advice appreciated
