Damn, I am missing the Torch , headlaps and sensors, although i love heated seats, cooled seats , auto folding mirrors and part leathers.
That warranty, who was it given to you by, BMW?
If its anybody other than BMW I wouldnt trust it, I have read quite a few stories on HJ about how they are pretty much useless.

If I were you I would read around on HJ forums and see what they say,
you have 7 Days to cancel your warranty By Law so thats not a problem, just investigate it a little bit as I would have gone with that as I could live with the servicing costs but not potential breakdowns :/
 
lovely looking car you got there, but what’s all this talk about warranty and interior specifications? sounds quite a lot like my dad after he turned 50 and got his new a4 ;)
 
Is the warranty underwritten by anybody else? If not be wary because the way the motor trade is at the moment I would rely on any retailer to the be there in 3 yrs time standing warranty costs.

Check www.warrantydirect.co.uk - they are generally regarded as best of a bad bunch in terms of third party warranties.
 
Accountants don't necessarily earn that much do they? Granted some will reach the big league and earn 100k+ with ease, but most will just earn around the 20k - 40k mark.

Ive been doing it for 2 years with a small firm and Im earning over £20k. When I qualify in Sept I expect to earn ~£35k. It should go up from there. :)
