        God that Ann Robinson is a right pig of a woman.

        She was just hell bent on winding that chap from the SMMT up from the off, and in all fairness to the guy he neither work's for BMW or was he defending them, he was purely trying to explain the complaint's procedure

        And WHAT HAS SHE DONE TO HER BOAT RACE

              Shame they didn't make them out of diamonds or titanium! (They would still be cheaper than trying to get a good set of magnesium ones now! )

                  don't think its really bmw's prob as its our shite roads and speed bumps .

                  i have a car here that has come from london and in 6 months it had 2 sets of front road springs,thats the pot holes and speed bumps,you don't get that on german standard billiard table smooth roads.
                  my cozzie is shite on bumpy roads but show it a smooth tarmac road and its a joy to behold
