Really need to see it in the flesh but initial reaction is not good!!

He was looking for a quick sale as he is after a new ML and has a trade bid on the X5 just under the price on here. Get in touch quickly if your friend is interested.

Have 2 more photos of front and rear but for some reason they wont load. If you would like to see them let me know.

Took car in for final checks of the wheels. Given 520D loan car and hour later got call from dealer. Guy from Paint shop had checked depth of paint on wheels and these had been sent to BMW. They have approved the replacement of all 4 wheels even though only 3 had been requested. Great result!! Only ...

Thats the initial response I got as the salesman had just contacted Bracknell and they had quoted him the standard charges. As I knew somebody who had done this before so pushed back and he spoke to someone in Service who told him if the AUC Warranty was extended when car was purchased the cost to ...

The saga continues. Bmw want me to take car into dealers for the day so the wheels can be removed and inspected to ensure they havent been refurbished. Getting a loan car so not a problem just think this has dragged on for 5 weeks now so not sure why they didnt do this sooner!!

I had an additional 12 months added when I bought mine at a cost of £385 which is less than half of what you would pay if you did it when the 12 months expires.

Think the delay is down to the car being 2.5 years old and BMW checking with previous owners if wheels have been refurbished. Will just have to wait and see. Am sure they will try and wriggle out of it if they can.

Still waiting for decision from BMW after 3 weeks. Dealer saying they have had lots of emails back and forth. They think BMW trying to confirm wheels have not been refurbished. Dealer reckons some claims have taken 10 weeks!!

Near Guildford, Surrey

See if they will add an additional 12 months AUC Warranty. If they wont then get then to put one on and pay the cost price. Did this on mine and only cost £385 instead of £1000 at renewal time.

Took the X5 into Barons and saw the Service Manager. He will be filling a warranty form for 3 of the wheels to be replaced and says they will be in touch within 48hrs.

Have spoken to Barons and agreed to take it in next week for them to have a look. Will let you know how I get on.
