    Car with PPF?

    I suppose it depends on how much added value the seller has put on the car compared to a similar spec car without PPF. Please correct me if I am wrong but I think PPF is quite expensive to apply, possibly £2000 or more, obviously dependent on the car. If the seller has added a few hundred for...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Hmm, I thought HK and sensatec were optional extras in 2023 X3 M40i cars, sensatec used to be standard but was deleted at some point I think in 2022? I was going by the number plate HPI Spec check on the car which had HK and Sensatec as extras? However, BCA are not renowned for their accuracy...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Would any of the BMW gurus plese be able to tell me what the full range of optional extras are for a 2022 X3 M40i, over and above the base spec? I think the base spec is fairly comprehensive but am not sure exacly what is included in it? For example, are HUD, Adaptive Suspension, Gesture...

    Need help with a PCN...signage on the opposite side of the road

    If you have never driven an area before it makes sense to be more careful in checking for cameras and road restrictions. Also drive a little slower in order to improve the chances of observing signs rather than whizzing past them. Again, no sympathy, still bleating like a lamb, pay the fine...

    Need help with a PCN...signage on the opposite side of the road

    You need to take an eye test, you are a danger to other road users, that sign is very visible as are the other two earlier on that are both on the left side of the road. Man up, pay up and stop crying like a baby.

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Many thanks for your detailed reply, it reassures me that my novice interpretation of the comparisons with the SQ5 were reasonable. I do not think the X3M Competition model offers me any benefit that I could take advantage of. My driving style is not fast or reckless and I have no desire to...

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Hi, I have just started looking at BMW SUV's as an alternative to an Audi SQ5 so wondered if any of the knowledgeable folks on this forum could please clear up a few points? It looks like the SQ5 equivalent is probably one of the BMW X3 range, options seem to be the X3 M40d, X3 M40i and X3 M...

    Wtf is this crap

    If the car was added to a motor trade policy and the details entered correctly in the MID then does this not exclude it from having to be taxed? Dealers forecourts have vehicles on them that are not taxed and cost of taxation is passed on to the buyer at purchase unless included as part of the...

    Insured or Not?

    OP deserves to be screwed, deliberately lied to the insurer when taking out the policy about no commuting. He has an accident then tries to wriggle out of the commuting exclusion by trying it on, typical chancer strategy.

    Approved used Mazda NOT

    These dealers had it good for too long, ever since Covid they been raking the money in and got so complacent they dont care about presenting a car for sale in top condition. They seem to think if the 1st mug dont buy it the 2nd or 3rd mug will buy it cos there is a shortage of cars. Whole...

    Auto Trader Price Comments (Fair, Good, Great etc)

    From checking some car prices on Auto Trader I get the impression that some vendors are getting more favourable price comments than others for similar spec cars? The small circular dial values that indicate the price comments has "Great Price" for one car yet an identical car from another vendor...

    Sold Car Issues

    That means nowt, if the car was sold within eBay and not listed as "spares or parts" then by default it is listed as a runner unlless eBay motor listing are different to other listings? How did the payment take place, did he pay via eBay/PayPal or was it a payment outside of eBay?

    Sold Car Issues

    Was the car transaction processd via eBay? For example, did he use buy it now or make an offer that concluded the sale within eBay? If he did, eBay may side with him as the car was officially not sold as "spares or not working". I think he might have the eBay 30 day protection on his side unless...

    Dodgy Vauxhall purchased??

    Yeah, OP is slow to provide detailed pictures of the engine, he has been asked before but did not deliver. Why not take it to an authorised Vauxhall main dealer and get them to check the car out for specification, surely they would have some insight and be able to issue a report, for a fee? To...

    Dodgy Vauxhall purchased??

    The whole thing just does not stack up. To wait for 19 months after purchase to start looking for reasons to reject the car back to the dealer based on selling it as a Turbo when in fact the engine is knackered says it all. O/P is looking for an out on the car and scratching round for a reason.

    Windscreen chip - too small to worry?

    Agreed with others who recommend getting it fixed as soon as possible. I had a small windscreen crack that remained the same size for months, as soon as we had very cold weather and the car got covered in snow the crack spread and easily trebled in size.
