Do I stick or twist?
Hi all, PCP is up in September and I don't know whether to refinance the balloon payment for another 4 years, or start again with a 2023 320i. Nothing wrong with the 5 series, apart from I wish I had Android Auto and split rear seats would have come in handy. My also concern is that with 56,000 miles, I could start to see more things go wrong (not that they haven't on the last 3 odd years I've had it). What is putting me off the 3 series is the £620 road tax and that all the temp controls are via the infotainment. Monthly cost works out about an extra £40 a month. Just wondering what others think? -

Scratching on rubber trim
Hi all, Have these scratches on the rubber trim at the bottom of the windows on my 5 series, suspect thanks to whoever has been washing it. Has anyone attempted to either replace the trim or paint it? -

X1 gearbox service
Morning Cornel Most Main Dealers are North of £200 per hour Google the register of BMW Specialists they are normally ex BMW Tech's and will have all the Kit and Knowledge you need more important their Hourly rates are around half the Main Dealer's same applies to ZF Trans Specialist's I have always serviced my own cars (hobby) and my wife thinks it's safer than me helping in the garden 😁 I did my X5 earlier this year I brought genuine a ZF service kit £190 OEM Transfer case fluid £70 front and rear diffs £80 total £340 The transfer case on an E70 is a Faff as BMW decided to hide the drain plug behind the Transfer box support cradle but once I worked it out it went well, whole job took me a morning with coffee and biscuits Dave -

X1 gearbox service
Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. I've only had the car for 2 weeks and so far it's running good, i could probably diy-it but I've not done it before so the missus won't let me🤣( it's her car) . Local BMW dealer quote me 830£ for gearbox service and 550£ for transfer box/boxes service. Safe to say I told them I'll sleep on it for a bit😁
