I've straight piped my back boxes internally and have a switch for the exhaust flaps. It sounds loads better than stock but does not pop and crackle all the time, sometimes gives off the odd loud bang which I love.

Nope not referring to you, I personally think you're carbon was worth every penny. I don't even know who I was referring to but I have seen some people spending thousands of pounds on pointless upgrades. Who the hell doesn't miss £7k? that is beyond me. Throwing money away like it comes easy.

Would they get their knickers in a twist over this when it's in for warranty work?

So guys thanks for all the help so far,very informative.
When would be the ideal time to buy from a dealer? I've heard that sometimes they offer 0% apr, is this just for new models or approved used aswell? There is no way I'm paying the 12.9% apr listed. Cheers |

You could haggle to get to 7% and if you are very luck 5% APR

I can't help you with the apr side of things though unfortunately. Best bet is to find a car you like and go into the dealer to talk to them. If they want to sell it they will work with you. |

What are prices like for discs/pads etc? Is there an option of a service plan when buying used from a dealer? If so would that include brakes etc |

At least I dont have to use the dealer for servicing I can use a specialist as long as they use bmw parts my warranty wont be void. I wonder if discs from eurocarparts are the correct ones as they sometimes have a 50% off promotion |

Genuine discs are available for approx £800 fronts and £600 rear on Ebay. Not sure on dealer prices as I've not needed any yet. Rear pads can get purchased for £60 ish, not to sure about the fronts.
OneExtra I assume £1100 was for front discs and pads only? |

my local bmw dealers are either leicester/tamworth/coventry, not sure who is best though. tamworth is probably the easiest to get to for me. |

guys.........if i bought from a dealer and say for example he gave me 2 years warranty but after 18 months the engine died and got replaced by bmw would i get 2 years warranty on the new engine as bmw state they offer two years warranty on parts? or would i just get the remaining 6 months?
cheers |
