Lost faith in BMW!
Wife had her mini serviced last week and was told the rear pads needed doing £260 :?
Luckily she called me and asked what to do to which I responded poke it. It's just taken me 1/2 hour to do both sides and cost just £40 using GSF premium pads and their discount code. As if that was taking the p155 enough, when I got the pads off there was still over 5mm on them all round.
And this is the same dealer that let her drive off having had a £40 "safety check" with out telling her the inner edge of the front tyres had the cord showing.
Absolute t055ers!!!!

Also sound proofed the boot and found several pits of plastic rattling around, so now it's a little quieter and a lot less rattley

..... went quad biking with my son in Florida! Great fun - and it was owned by an Expat from Market Harborough who gave us a good discount!

We did similar this year. Kings norton to wythall!
Today I went hunting for m135i's and also washed and clayed the z4.....
...s**t bricks when I saw the red tyre of death symbol on the dash, had panic attacks when I saw how much a cracked 326 rim would cost me, then couldn't believe how lucky i was when it turned out I'd picked up a 3/4" wood screw. £10 repair, job done :wink:

Not just today, but over the last couple of weeks I've had my wheels beautified (Platinum in Swindon- who were great). I've washed, clayed,washed and polished. I've bought a polisher and some pads. I've washed again. I've polished my beautiful red rocket 
...then I drove it a lot and got it all dusty. Then I finally cleaned the filthy old barn where it lives to try and keep the dust off it. The wrong order I know 8)
I can see why people get enjoyment out of this cleaning malarkey. I never thought I'd say that!
Trouble is I can't stand to sit and look at the thing when it's so smart I have to take it out :driving:

They all seem to pull that stunt!
My daughters car went in to a Vauxhall main dealer and was told the pads were in need of a change - They looked fine to me. Strange they didn't mention the condition at the service the following year - Bandits, At least Dick Turpin wore a mask!
I inadvertently got caught up in the middle of a race between a smash & grabber and some of the Met's finest in St Pancras station and ended up getting knocked off my feet whilst I was casually walking along minding my own business! The policeman apologised, asked if I was ok and I told him to go and catch the bugger! All happened so fast - didn't even see the dude being pursued.

Yes, fine thanks Andy.
Just a bit startled and embarrassed as I was carrying a coffee and a tub of Porridge from Pret, half of which ended up on my trousers! So I then ended up scouring the shops in the station for a new pair. Thank you Joules, for coming to the rescue!!
