Angry BMW build quality
We got a spanking new 120i in Titanium Silver in late December and we've had nothing but bloody trouble with the thing.

Every time it goes over a slight bump, some new falls off the stupid thing. It's in the garage for some major glass and rear light repair work this weekend. . . .

Thumbs up Its back!
I can't believe it! Just got a call from the dealers to come and pick it up. I don't think they've done a very good job to be honest and certainly their choice of materials is a little amateurish - but at least the service was fast!






Our little boy will be chuffed to bits that his car has been fixed when he gets up tomorrow!

If they're going to move it, then surely "Other Marques" or "Projects" would be better destinations?

What do you expect from a bottom of the range BMW designed for those who think it cuts the mustard merely having the badge....?

Oh leave him alone. He's only two years old and can't afford a 3 or 5 series beemer.

The problem is they used UHU, which doesn't do too well on plastic. Tell them to use Airfix / Humbrol Liquid Poly instead

Build quality shouldn't come as a surprise though - the indicators never seem to work
