He can't be. I bet he's just referring to a part. Technically my car is covered under warranty aswell, for its DISA valve.

No, I have a BMW insured warranty on my car inc emergency service.

Emergherd!

How much is that P/M?

[TW]Fox · 10 Sep 2012 at 16:42

100 quid.

IIRC, its only the driveline warranty avaliable for cars over 100k miles right? Did you just take it out in case of a failure of a major part or more just so you could get the emergency service perks?

[TW]Fox · 10 Sep 2012 at 16:58

I took it for the emergency service mostly - the AA wanted £158 for 18 days of cover - a month of warranty worked out better value. I didn't need to claim on it so they got £100 off me for nothing but the peace of mind it offered was worth it - had my 530i expired in the middle of Hungary they'd have scooped it up, given me a hire car and taken it home.

It's a great package, IMHO.

I require some help.

My friend has a 2007 e92 320 which had fabric sports seats in. (electronic bolsters etc) he has purchased an entire leather interior which we were told was from a 2010 3 series, n/k what model. Now we can't get the electronics to work on them. The plug is the same but it appears it needs two lots of power going into the new seats. Anyone come across this? I don't mind getting the solder iron out etc

Thought you guys might be interested in a few pics of the car I hired for a bit whilst on holiday last weekend:

That's gorgeous.

Sooo, when you buying?

On another note I scraped my lower rear bumper today, was boxed in by someone, and caught it on the ridiculously high kerb trying to maneuver out.

: mad:

Lol the M5. I'd expect nothing less. Did it live up to the dream?

No idea I'm afraid though a 2007 would be a pre facelift and a 2010 a facelift - I wonder if the 2007 was a pre MOST-bus car without fibre-optic cabling?

No, pre-facelifts had fibre-optics.

I think it's more related to the options in the car.
