    Where did you get the rainbow G-Shock from? - I'm not seeing it anywhere in the UK. TIA

    I can't really say, incase the dealer is reading this thread, but it was appropriate and a nice gesture.

    Further update: The dealer has been on the case to find out how this mistake happened and hopefully prevent it from happening again. As I say, they have arranged, at their own expense, to have the car collected/returned for the MOT asap and have offered me suitable compensation to keep me...

    TBF the dealer has responded quickly and offered to sort it out at their own expense. It's the fact that I've got to be present for when the car is collected/delivered again and the fact that I couldn't use it last w/e that annoys me the most.

    A couple of weeks ago I had my supercar in for its annual service and MOT at a main dealer, who up to now have looked after me very well. Car gets delivered back (I have the car collected/delivered as part of the service to keep the miles down) and all seems fine. Come to tax the car so that I...

    Only managed £500 off but the car was very competitively priced anyway for the spec. I wasn’t really in a strong negotiating position, as I needed a car quick and this was the only one that fitted the bill. They were almost giving them away when I ordered the new one last Christmas. Think I got...

    Thanks, I will and intend to keep it for a few years. Yes it was a bitter pill to swallow, having to pay similar for a used car as new - its because the BMW Finance apr is double for used over new. The Adaptive Suspension definitely makes the car imo. The car was previously owned by the...

    I posted earlier in this thread about ordering a new car and it not arriving with the correct specification. Quick re-cap; Last Christmas I ordered a new 530d. Unbeknown to me, in Jan BMW sent out a notification that they were no longer going to fit Adaptive Suspension to any 5 series cars -...

    As in best value for money. I placed my order just before Christmas and the deal on offer (discount, deposit contribution, low %apr) gave me a brand new car, to me ideal specification< with a monthly pcp payment close to or less than the finance I was being quoted for a 6-12 month old used car...

    As @[TW]Fox says, BMW are no longer making the 530d, so its a choice of finding a suitable replacement out of whats left from unsold cars in the UK, or keeping what I've got. I've found two new cars this morning which would be suitable and sent the details to my dealer. Unfortunately, this car...

    @jpaul - many thanks for the link to the Bilsteins. I've sent them an email asking them for a recommendation for my car.

    Finally got the chance this evening to try a 530d with the adaptive suspension. My supplying dealer very kindly gave me the opportunity to try my car, with M Sport suspension, back to back on the same bumpy road with a brand new unregistered 530d with adaptive suspension. I was secretly hoping...

    I ordered a 530d at Christmas, which was delivered on 02 March 2023. I had specified the adaptive suspension as part of the Msport Pro Pack and the car arrived without it - BMW never said anything. Supplying dealer checked with BMW UK and, sometime in Jan/Feb, BMW decided to stop fitting...

    @jpaul - I find it very disappointing that no one made me aware of the change and that it was left to me to spot it. I will update when the matter has been resolved as I can't say to much right now.

    I understand what your saying. All I can say is that I can definitely feel a small difference in the way the car rides when switching between comfort and sport. Both the VIN checker and the lack of the 'Adaptive' button by the gear selector indicate that this car doesn't have the adaptive...
