Nice beamer Bradders
You are right about LR dealers needing to step up, SWMBO's Beamer blew a turbo the other month, the car was recovered, stripped the next day, problem assessed, BMW warranty informed and the car was ready to be picked up 3 days later. Valleted etc.
This was a 2007 320D on a BMW extended warranty @ �45 per month..well worth the money as the material cost of the mend was �2,400
If that was LR it would be sat in the compound a week before they even looked at it.RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

Hope the Beemer is working out for you bradders!
I suffered a rapid deflation (blow out?) on the near side rear last night. Tyre pressure sensor pinged and then it started fish tailing! Managed not to hit anyone or anything and get onto the hard shoulder of the M26. Was 'interesting' for a few seconds!!
Spent nearly 3 hours waiting for recovery!
Managed to get the wheel off despite no jack, wheel brace etc supplied by BMW and get it repaired this morning!!
A simple space saver would have saved the day! Tight German b******s!
Think this could be bye bye Beemer!! Just got to find an RRS now!!

Hey Bradders, glad you are enjoying the Beemer. I made an even more extreme change in May! Sold the 2014 RRS2 and bought one of the last Mercedes C63 AMG
Made the mistake of going on an AMG day at the local Merc Dealers, awesome, absolute mid life crisis great thing is it eats almost every car on the road barring some Ferarris etc. cheap as chips for super car performance, just need to work on keeping my license and look forward to another RRS in a year or so, dreading October and the Scottish winter, the car will be like the Yes vote, struggling for traction and hoping for the best MY 2014 HSE Dynamic
MY 2012 RRS HSE
2009 Audi A6 Avant- superb quality but boring never missed
2007 Q7 -loved it but not a patch on RRS
Various BMW's, Audis
199 TD5 Disco XS, great car big improvement on previous Disco
1981 Fiat Mirafiori Sport 2000 TC - Bright Orange and Black, great Car when new but soon deteriorated, those were the days
