Re: Buying a AUC X5 62 plate- need advice

I got about £1300 worth of discount on a very reasonable priced car compared to other independents and dealers.
I sent them an email earlier today with list of things to be done and they have replied back in writing so fingers crossed they do all these things as agreed.

Re: Buying a AUC X5 62 plate- need advice

Should I ask them to fill and polish them? What should i ask them to reset, things like adaptive ...

Re: Non run-flat tyres

I live in Birmingham and will get my X5 soon. I have 320d but never changed to winter tyres. Could I just use the tyres I get with BMW all year along?
Sorry for asking a naive question!

Re: Buying a AUC X5 62 plate- need advice

Thanks all

They have done 2 new set of keys, check for errors and fixed £1080 worth of issues including new keys and service. The tyres are in good condition at least 7mm front and 8 mm back.

Will try for 2 year AUC warranty!
