Never had a 116i from service, had one from bodycentre though. 'Worst' BMW I've had from service was a 318d.

Service has a much higher turnover and variety of loan cars IME, I've even had X Series loan cars :eek:

I had a 116 the last time that I took a car in for an Inspection service.

Williams in manchester ONLY offer 116i autos for service. i also don't see the problem for one day, but no chance i could put up with one for 2 weeks.

Must depend on the dealer because the only cars I've ever had during services are 118ds. Will find out what the body shop offers when it goes in for repairs after they damaged it during the last warranty repair.

Hit a badger once. Car spent 1 week in the body shop with new bumper and having its radiator repaired.

118d complained and got a 320d

Rutting season is here, my courtesy horns are better than yours.

Not good having your sexuality questioned like that

Fair bit of damage behind the bumper damage found this morning - whole front end is going to have to be stripped :/

Housey · 24 Apr 2010 at 11:11

I see a 320d loaner

A lot of BMW approved bodyshops aren't BMW owned/run and work on all different marques so you could end up with anything.

Clearer picture...

Apparently £1800 worth of damage. Wish I owned a BMW bodyshop!

Yikes

the benefit (or should that be downside) of plastic bumpers.

Why did you not manage to do this to the Passat? Would have been a perfect way to get rid of it

Same at Williams in Liverpool. I had one for 2 weeks whilst a steering problem was being diagnosed/repaired

On the bright side, it made my 525d feel like a supercar when I got it back
