What is the best way to add my daughter who just passed her test today, to my insurance policy? So far my own insurance (saga) as refused and so has another specialty insurer (marmalade). They said they do not insure BMW. My car is a 2010 BMW 320i convertible. What is the best/cheapest way to insure her on my car? She will be a secondary driver.

Thanks, I’ll give it a go

Do you know if BMW cigarette light works with the trickle charger when the engine is not running?

I use my 2010 320i BMW extensively between July and September but it mostly idle the rest of the time. I am trying to find a routine to charge it etc. it has a brand new battery. At the moment I drive it for 20 min every two weeks. I do not want to winterriae it because sometimes I need it. Can I drive it for 10 and idle for 10? Thoughts, ideas would be great.

Thanks again for all your insights Dave.

That's a relief. I was only going by what BMW (UK) told me and they said that they have cars sitting in their repair shop since May because the part is not available. Thanks Dave.

Thank you Dave. I am primarily worried because I read on several articles that once one of the injectors go, they others are not far behind. My car has 67K miles so it kin of falls in the mileage where injectors tend to fail. Perhaps I am overthinking it, but knowing how hard it is to find the part at this moment makes me hesitant. I have visions of being stranded in Italy or France trying to get a part that is on backorder worldwide. Hopefully it will all be OK.

Hi, I am new here to the forum and in need of advice. One my fuel injectors has failed and apparently there is a worldwide shortage of the part. BMW told me that they have cars waiting for the part since May (!). Problem is that I am on a road trip to Greece and need to return to the UK. The part is also not available here in Greece at the moment, but a local BMW mechanic, found a used one and the car works fine. I am a little hesitant to drive across Europe. Any thoughts on this? Should I go ahead?
