Really?

£20k is £400.

This. Although with credit card fees of up to a couple percent, you can see why. Buying a £20,000 car on a credit card will mean a fee of up to a grand!

The fee is likely to be a max of 1%. So £200.

Amex can be up to 3.5%

My E89 Z4 has developed a very annoying whistling noise above 60mph. I believe its coming from the passenger side window seal with the roof but not sure. Will this be covered under AUC warranty?

Yep, still not a grand though, is it?

Even those that did accept credit cards said no to amex.

Had my M2 detailed by Stu at F1 Wax, so happy how it came out! 2 stage polish with ceramic coat. Shame the rain and 120 miles I've driven in her she's a little dirty already. Still, gives me an excuse to wash it!

Beautiful car!

Any other photos showing the full car in shot.

But you said it would be up to a grand on a car that’s £20k :confused:

I did. Apologies for my poor mental arithmetic. I used 4% as the figure and rounded £800 up to a grand.

You must have been working with man maths and trying to justify something to your partner

Good luck finding a dealer that will let you put a car on a credit card. Even debit getting is getting difficult these days. Very annoying.

Cooper BMW did: £14.5k on Amex and £14.5k on Visa (no fees charged). I was quite surprised and snapped their hand off! I get points on the Visa (worked out to be £150 of retail vouchers) and 1.5% cashback on the Amex. Balances then transferred to two new 0% cards.

Of course this all pales into insignificance when one considers the MASSIVE depreciation over the last 19 months

*drools* lovely!

Looking to do a oil + oil filter + cabin filter change on the e39 540i for peace of mind. Has anyone ordered from AutoDoc?
For those items, it's working out cheaper compared to the likes of GSF/ECP/etc and I dont mind the delivery time as long as it's within 7 days.

I've ordered from them a few times ,
Usually takes about 5 days for delivery for me, but for the price was well worth the wait.

I do like the colour, but on first glance in the first pic I thought you had a massive dent in it :eek:

. I don't understand why, when colour is quite a large part of a new car, so many people go for boring black or white, especially on m cars. There hardly seems to be any in nice colours (unless of course they just aren't far sale). I quite like the Phoenix yellow, but I know it's a bit marmite for some people.
