Hi all,

Just got a call to say the guys from bmw are picking the car up but it doesn't have the 108's on it as specified :(

(promised everything would be fine and as specified, I knew I should have at least asked for pics)

What exactly are these and how should I respond, I really wanted the 108's they were quite a big part in me choosing the car...

 
Waiting a phone call to tell me, but bmw oxford have two bmw z4's with 108's on in stock, so perhaps they could swap some over assuming the cars haven't sold.

Think maybe I am being hopeful on the above, but I'm not accepting the car without 108's on it.
 
It has 108's in the description, I put a deposit down on the car as its theoretically perfect for me (at least it was) so they could buy it from another BMW dealership on the other side of the country. I saw the car in the coming soon list so it didn't even have photos, but I asked a million questions and have seen the cars history etc and have assurances that its perfect.

Clearly the muppet that put the info into the computer clicked the wrong button, or they have taken the wheels from the car for another car?

Im not to worried at the moment as they know my opinion I'm just waiting for them to find a resolution really.
 
I'm going to see it for the first time today with the intention of doing the swap tomorrow if all is well.

Oh and on the wheels front, the garage its coming from have put some 108's on it that are in need of a refurb, then oxford swapped them with a good set from one of the two cars mentioned earlier (they now need to get the other wheels refurbed). sorted!

I'm praying for no more snow and a temperature rise of 10 degrees over christmas now :D wish me luck.

well just been for a look and "she's a beaut", the only small issues were one small stone chip on the bonnet, looks like just clear coat taken off and some warn plastic around the gear stick that the sales man has said he will sort for me (and started to get it done before I left :D).

Other than that everything works, the hood seems nice and responsive, rear springs look ok (but cant properly get in there with wheels on). Paintwork looks incredible for its age as do the leather seats.

and best of all, it has 108's on it!



Defiantly worth the risk to snag this before anyone else got their grubby hands on it. I'm picking it up tomorrow.

The only photo I could get as I didn't really think too much about photos and there wasn't much room.

 
hang on what colour is your 530 is it silver and do you or do you not have a black interior? :P

Yer I know not exactly original, but its what I wanted, I dont like creme and I hate plastic wood (with a passion) so black and metallic was the logical step.

Im thinking of possibly trying to beg borrow and steal some extended leather bits if I can find them.

I do however have; pdc (lol on a small roadster), folding mirrors, elec + heated seats, cd changer, extended storage, wind deflector and 108's

However coming from a 1996 poverty spec mx5 with really terrible black plastic interior this is a serious upgrade. I mean it even has electric windows! ;)
(the mx5 didn't, well it didn't have anything tbh, seriously poor purchase on my part but we live and learn)
 
resale reshmale, I'm buying for me not the next guy and I dont like creme.

If it was a black car, I would have hunted high and low for the red interior but I dont think it suits silver.
