I've had my 2.8 now for about 18 months, and as I don't do many miles, the service lights still had 2 bars. I decided to book it in for a service anyway and...
Hi Steve That doesn't sound like the kind of service you should be getting from BMW. I've not had mine long enough to be serviced yet, but I've always been...

I only took it back there as I bought it from them. Maybe a nice friendly letter to BMW Uk might be in order. I think the basic service (just an oil service +...
I haven't used Hungerford for a service (I use Scotthalls in Chandlers Ford, where I bought the car) but I have used them for parts and accessories. They seem...
Oh Steve, Sorry to hear this tale, I thought that there were no dodgy BMWs and more importantly no problematic dealers! So the engine was a bit clean was it. I...
Sounds like a crew of muppets at that dealership - you should make the most of your 'post service review' if/when you get that and let BMW UK aware of the...
Hi Rob, Nasty scratch. Its not a good experience. The last car that I had was keyed. I managed to take it out with T - Cut and a lot of polishing. I felt good...
Just an idea to try. Clan the keyed area thoroughly (not with wax). Then carefully touch in the groove. Then use a product called Langka (there is a web site)...
Hi, Rob, Not a very nice thing to happen is it. Is it a bad scratch? Someone keyed my last car -I managed to get the side scratches out with T -Cut and a lot...
Hi Guys Thanks for the advice & sympathy over the scratch, Ill deff look into trying to sort it as advise, if that don't work ill pop her into be look at. It...

Whatever you use for the inside, don't use the "cockpit shine" type products that claim to leave the inside of your car clean and shiny. Other than sounding ...
Well I like my motor nice and clean, and best interior approach so far is those chuckaway dusters that suck up the dirt - well neat. Still searching for the...
hi Karin Service 1 cost me a gnat's under £300 a few weeks back and that included collection (for some reason my dealer need YOU to insure the courtesy at...
The Reading garage make you have your own insurance as well. It cost me 20 quid. They already know my views on this issue :-) Steve ... Steve Sherwood -...
... Yup, that's fun. For the days when I can't do that, I use a California Duster (I have nothing to do with that company). It works well. I have two small...
Hi Gregory, `T-Cut` is a liquid product sold in motor accessory shops in the UK. It smooths paint scratches down, rather like the finest sandpaper you can get...
Hi Dave, I must admit I went for the jugular when I bought the car. I got a`collection and delivery` option, also a courtesy car if I need it. As far as the...
Dave, I`ve mailed Yahoo but they are taking their time. When I get back from Phuket (thought I`d drop that in!) I`ll definitely sort it out. Cheers, Karin....
Hi, Dave, It`s good to give the ABS a good old testing - My car tramlines a bit and I was prepared for the right hand pull when I had to brake hard in an...
Is T-Cut available in the U.S.? What would the equivalent product be over here? I have a 2000 Estoril Blue M Roadster, and it has some dings from road debris...
... Ah! And here I thouht that you folks in the UK had invented some cool attachement for a Dremil that would round out the sharp "T" edge on a scratch! :-) ...
Richard, Sorry, I have no idea of what you may have in the USA as a similar product. Only someone who has moved out to you may have some idea. Watch the...
I guess I just like being in control, but so long as the guy that picks up the car is competent (ie not from the recently discussed dealership !) then I guess...
When we bought our 2000 Z-3, we were offered a 40,000 mile/4 year "bumper to bumper" warranty. We only pay for tires and BMW pay for everything else, ...
