I could of course put some innuendo based comment in just to 'lower the tone' as some feel it's expected, but I'll be good and resist it.......

I believe you should always 'lower the tone' where possible as a forum isn't a true forum without it... ::)

Well done. I'm sure there's plenty of BMW owners who would have been fobbed off by the dealership.

Most customers probably would not have even realised this as a fault- Most customers apart from some of us lot who are a*al about tiny details :))

Good result though- hopefully the next lot last longer!

Nice result on the new back boxes but is there not a chance this will just happen again though.
