Hi, My in laws x5’ handbrake has stuck on. They got it recovered and mechanic has stated it needs a replacement module as the mechanicals are...
My Father in Law has a 2009 X535d m sport. It has 80k on the clock and he does about 1500 miles/year. It’s constantly at the mechanics due to...
Some high miles there. IMHO I believe cars deteriorate more with age than mileage assuming service intervals are adhered to. Plastics...
No I haven’t checked. I got a recall letter last week for EGR even though it’s been done previously so if it has to go in I’ll ask them to check...
Hi guys, My iDrive has started to shutdown randomly. It boots back up when I press the on button again. It first did it about a year and half...
I bought my car with BMW approved used. It had aftermarket modifications so the statement they don’t sell modified cars doesn’t stack. I’ve...
My F31 m sport 2wd runs the oem Bridgestone s001 rft’s. I haven’t tried anything else as I find them perfectly acceptable. The suspension suits...
The miles were ticking on so I ordered the parts including oil from cottswold bmw. Have to say service was spot on. I sent an email on a Sunday...
Ok, some of you may have guessed I’ve decided to hold off on a purchase for a while. I just can’t bring myself to spend so much on a car. As...
All well and good when car is 3 years old. Mine is 6 years old now with 60k so I’d doubt I’d get anything like that even though I have 100%...
That is kind of the way I’m leaning. They appear to be holding values at present probably due to slow supply of new cars. It won’t matter if it...
No, but it’s been a dream for years but I’m now in the financial position to afford it. It’s just a question of if it’s worth spending the extra...
Thanks, I don’t believe in warranties. Yes some may pay off but the financial risk is not biased towards the warranty company. I have enough to...
Yes, typical of me, not diving in head first and possibly loosing out on the experience [emoji19]. Until I ran these calculations I didn’t...
I’m generally easy on cars. I usually achieve at or slightly under the combined cycle mpg on my daily driving so I’ve budgeted @ 28mpg....
I just did an insurance quote. £630 for a standard car. Not too bad but I have over 20 years driving ex and clean license. Sent from my iPhone...
Hi All I know this is a topic that some will say if you have to think about you can’t afford it but stick with me. Long story short my wife...
I would never trade in. I took a big hit on a merc e350 when I changed to bmw. But for 30mins writing an advert, a tenner to post it, answering...
Hi all, I’ve sent a quote request this evening to cotswold BMW. Just waiting on it coming back. I’ve also done an eBay costing for all the...
That’s kind of my impression. The car was immaculate when I bought it at 20k and hasn’t really deteriorated in the 3 years I’ve owned it. I’ve...
