well it had to happen

Only had the car 11 months and finally had to happen.

Had to avoid a maniac truck driver in a narrow street and ended up with nicely kerbed alloy.

That and the fuel leak last week I'm starting to hate driving this car. Its bad karma all the way.

Anyone know any good alloy wheel repair places in camberley / surrey area.

With no spare wheel its going to be a right arse to get it fixed

Nice spec magic. Looks a lot like my option list (although no bluetooth). My previous BMWs have had a whole catalogue of problems and issues - your list is far too short to be hating the car just yet

You should give Littleknocks a call in Wokingham. They probably farm out the work but have sorted me out when I dropped my motorbike on the wifes car and when I had two elbow dings on my roof a few weeks back and they have always been very helpful and creative.

fuel leak was a failure of the fuel pressure sensor. Caused diesel to spill all over the einge bay and some scary plumes of smoke being created. Annoyingly this was a new part only fitted a week earlier as old one flagged an error in ECU.

Might give them a shout and see what they charge other option is to drop it at local dealer and see what they charge at least would save me parking for a day when I go see client in london
