Talking of BMWs...
« on: 15 February 2017, 15:13:47 »
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 ::)

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.

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

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?
