Sucks.

I find threatening to leave your car there until they sort it works pretty well.

Failing that, drive through reception.

LOL I wouldnt leave my car there - I record my mileage in and out when its in with BMW/MINI....

One time when they were (failing to) diagnose the broken hydraulic lifters on my car they offered to let their mechanic take the car home for the weekend to see if he could try to match the conditions that I said the noises appreared under... good of them hey

They couldnt hear the noise as in this vid which is what I ended up showing them so they could hear it - numpties !

Was exepecting them to use the N55 but it sounds like the N54 is more easily tuned... if they are using the better transmission from the M3 then the torque should be whacked right up

Liking the flared arches and wheels Look better than the test mule with the arches a different colour....



Needs 4 exhausts though...
