Good luck 

[Viral_Jim]

Good luck

Which dealer group btw?

Rybrook, worcester in my case.

So far I'd rate them as sub par. They've been very smiley and helpful, whilst not actually acheiving anything.

Good luck.

Hope they do the decent thing.

Beer in hand & the dog snoring loudly I`ve just read the last 6 pages of this topic

 I do hope Jimmy gets some kind of acceptable resolution to this problem
Good luck mate 
 
On the other hand, I do pity the first  flunky who tries to jolly him along & suggests  "A BMW driving experience day"    "just to make up for all the hasslle sir"
  Might be best to take Mrs 944 with you,
        It`s time to say Good night nurse..........

Hope they do the decent thing.

And if not it would be a terrible shame if it caught fire while under their care, wouldn't it...

(Not really suggesting that, of course)

Hope you succeed in getting the sensible outcome here and don't have to coil one out on the managers desk!

Clearly not fixed the problem then.

I suppose you could let them try and fix the problem for a third time......but.....perhaps not.

I set the wheels in motion this morning. So far, all very smiley and understanding (much "I see where you're coming from" and grave nodding of heads going on), but no cash forthcoming yet (as expected). The dealer wants me to involve BMW UK, which I have done. Although the relevant legislation concerns the retailer not the manufacturer and both I and the BMW UK representative agreed with each other on that.

I am also on hold to BMW Financial Services, who technically own the vehicle.

I could, however last night's incident happened about 700 yards after I got off the M42. The prospect of sitting in the dark, stationary in the outside lane of the motorway without even my hazard lights on to warn oncoming traffic really does not bear thinking about.

Blimey, you ticked the box for the optional indicators?     

[Kevin Wood]

It really is shocking that you can't even use the hazard warning lights. That makes it a very serious safety issue, IMHO.

I agree,clearly not fit for purpose.

The air must have been blue with expletives starting with 'F' and 'C'.

Why would he have mentioned Fish and Chips

I was thinking 'flip' and 'cobblers'

[STEMO]

Ford and Chevrolet.......that would scare them..........not.

I was thinking this when Jimmy first posted, but then can-bus lighting has been around for years on loads of different cars.  One assumes it's a common dangerous side effect when something serious turns it's toes up in the can system
