    Friends dog bit someone

    Tell your mate to get some warning signs up about dogs running freely or general beware signs. Don't buy the ones that show angry / aggressive dogs as this will show you acknowledge your dog is aggressive. Also all statements need to mention closed door, no invite, no public access i.e...

    Thinking of buying an F10 M5 - Talk to me

    Hi. Yes, sorry for the confusion / you're correct. Im referring to the E60 / E61 v10 models. Like you've mentioned, cheap to buy now but still a super car to run, so needs a serious amount of research into each car. My friend brought a F10 - 4.4 twin turbo (?) model with the competition...

    Hi. Im a lurker too. :-) I looked into purchasing a F10 M5. Your best bet is too look / research the subject over in bimmerworld / pistonheads as there are quite a few owner threads covering these cars / engines in great depth. These engines, at these ages / mileages all seem to suffer from...

    BMW Warranty

    Buying a car - seller still has personal plate on it

    Out of interest the plate belongs to the car, so if a car is sold to you and if the V5 comes to you with the private reg still registered to the car then its `yours`. Obviously the new online procedure makes life far easier but back in the day you had to send in forms, even go to a DVLA centre...
