In their own words

Some of the problems are quite simply down to my being in a rush to buy the car and a less- than frank seller. However it has one major flaw that all need to appreciate. The oil level is no longer on a dipstick but is on a sensor. This can malfunction and causes endless problems as it is often not the sensor but the system malfunctioning - so is not cured by replacing the sensor. I have given up trying to mend it and now drive until I get an oil pressure light then top up - which I hate doing. BMW dont seem keen to address the problem - has put me off BMW for life
