Old? I'm approaching 50 from the wrong direction Don. That's old.

The car had a leak in the roof that the dealer and BMW UK were unable to cure. Only after I threatened to have the car sign written and parked outside their show room did they concede and give a full refund. I had read that this had happened in the US but their 'Lemon Law' made it easier for the customer to get the car rejected.

Hi Don and as the others have said welcome back :thumbsup: nice looking F10 you have there 8) I change from an e53 to a e61 last May and have to say am very pleased with the move, loved the 'X' but IMO the Touring makes for a better family car waiting for the :fuelfire: :D

Might have known you would be first :D To be honest we didn't get much here. Didn't go out the first day and had no problem the second (on the compacked snow) let the tyre pressures down abit and switched off the DTC and off we went :P To be fair Mrs Chompers 1er was worse. Will wait until the middle of the year and source a spare set of wheeels and winter tyres for both for next winter :driving:
