Apparently she is both flexible and accommodating.

Just got back, I'm knackered. Should be worth watching chaps, I'm the bald northerner if you aint sure, 3 others owners also had their say. BMW didnt turn up, they wheeled someone out from the SMMT. The pre filming looks good, they've clearly put some work in.[ Oh and picked the 335i up as well this morning, thats a post for later - but what an engine - love it.]

This might be down to me writting to them after no joy with BMW coustomer service on cracked wheels and uneven tyre wear. I wrote to watch dog explaining the problem and quoted the E90Post web site and asked them to look into it as owner were getting no were with BMW.
So this is great news

Let's hope as owners watch dog can shame BMW into takeing responsibility for the wheel problem.

beemerbird · 10-21-2009, 10:44 AM

Well done to all involved in making this high profile.

So BMW did not actually show up, will still be interesting to see the programme on Thursday and see what happens from there. Power of the media et al.

dxb335d · 10-21-2009, 10:57 AM

What time is it on?

How long from initial contact (with the makers of the programe) to finally getting onto tv?

Cafe.Racer · 10-21-2009, 11:04 AM

Nice one - my experience of Watchdog is that it takes quite a few people contacting them independantly for them to feature a story - I'd suffered from the infamous VW wind down windows problem, and they contacted me as a result.

pjs · 10-22-2009, 10:24 AM

Bump. Reminder the Cracked Wheels will be on the bloody telly tonight, sadly Tony wasnt on in the end for reasons he may or may not be able to explain. I await your piss taking and general northern monkey baiting!

Hotcoupe · 10-22-2009, 12:19 PM

So we are looking for a slaphead as the E90Post correspondent

Good work PJS

dxb335d · 10-22-2009, 12:27 PM
