Bloody BMW's !!!!!
« on: 12 December 2013, 00:18:02 »
Well BMW have had our 530D now for about a month with its knackered timing chain, I've been wondering where it is. So I phoned our garages to be told its STILL in a million pieces in BMW main dealers awaiting parts!!!!  >:( >:( >:( HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?!?!?!?

Wouldn't like to think I'd paid £40k for a car and had to wait so long for the repairs under warranty, when it went bang! It going bang in the first place with 50k is bad enough.

Now we have no cars left as BMW no. 2 has AGAIN got the dreaded 'DPF' fault for the 5th time, and BMW no. 3 has a brake fault and is also off road!

If BMW no 1 ain't back soon I'm gonna report it as stolen  :D :D :D  ;D ;D ;D

I started to notice when my mate told me about his company car (thus brand new) 1 series where the gearbox went kaput. then there've been others on here. and now jasonm.

The real issue is that cars are built to emissions standards, not designed for the jobs the actually do...

Plod cars being a case in point... always fully loaded and either idling or flat out. Emission control systems simply can't deal with the randomness. And in a degree of abuse and the cars soon prove what they're made of...V70s and Omegas/Senators being granite, BMWs being toffee ;D
