Can the current 1 series be jacked by the diff?
I don't really care if it should or not, it's just that some idiot has very thoughtfully abandoned one across the drive, and I am quite tempted to roll it down the hill... >:(
-
Cause any damage at all and you're in trouble unfortunately. However illegally/inconsiderately parked. ;)
-
It wouldn't be the first 1 series to suffer diff issues in a few miles time...
Road is private, and it's now been there two days... What are the chances of getting a log book and keys before they come back ::)
-
Alternatively, I wonder if it could be sorned... Don't worry, it can't without a change if keeper... ::)
-
If the road is private, is probably still maintained by the local Council, if thats the case the have the power to slap a 24 hour abandoned vehicle sticker notice on it and have it removed, whether they do or not is a different matter.

Road is unadopted for better or worse :-\

Lol... It's a '16 plate and in one piece... Might be worth a call to 101 to see if it's 'missing' :-\
Besides, it's a 120i M sport so you would have to be quite tragic to buynick it :D

But two days . . . . . ?
-
What's the range of the keys? Hypothetically speaking of course...
-
Put a glossy magazine in front of each back wheel.
Hook a ratchet strap around the rear part of each wishbone.
Loop the centre of the strap around your toward.
Drag the bloody thing clear of your drive.
Problem solved.
-
Is it blocking your dropped curb or just the "other" bit of driveway?
-
It's square in the middle opposite... So I have to negotiate it which ever way I leave the drive >:(
Awaiting a call back from Sussex... Just in case it has been stolen... It appeared around 5am yesterday.

Nice idea, just need a towbar ::)
-
I've heard burnt out cars get removed quite quickly ;)
-
Bit close to the house if it goes pop. Besides it's not that sort of area ;D

Not mine, I can confirm. Although I had thought about leaving mine in the crappest part of Birmingham should I be forced to take it back. I figure it would only take 1-2nights max for nature to take its course. :y

That just makes it easier. If your BMW has a fixed towing eye at the back(after 18months of not doing recovery work, I can't remember :) ) then use that - do NOT use a screw-in tow eye. If it doesn't, then a semi-trailing arm will do.
