Bit of an updateroo!
The car went in to a main dealer for a service at the start of June 
The service seemed reasonable for it being the big 60,000 mile one, originally I was quoted around £1660 for it, I then called them back and mentioned the maindealerdiscount site to them, a spot of negotiation, supplying my own oil via opie, and it came in at £770, with a few little bits and bobs.
Scope
Software update
Engine oil
Plugs
Diff Oil
SMG Oil
Induction filters
Cabin Filters
The faults it went in for, Comfort access not working, turned out to be the wiring in the boot hinge, this was classed as wear and tear, so not covered by the warranty, they did the work without asking me, and since I've been shafted for half of the money by the garage I bought the car off as it should have been okay'd by them prior to thew work going ahead, BMW didn't even notify me that the work was out of warranty and just did it. I'm not really that fussed, I'm not trying to be cheap with this car, I just don't like paying over the odds.
The Paddle wasn't done, the boot strut wasn't done, they said they'd looked at the load cover?
I rang them at noon about picking the car up, they said they'd call straight back, about 4:30 they rang back (not a big deal for most but I had to sleep due to shift work), I went to collect the car and it took them an hour to do the invoice for payment as I sat twiddling my thumbs.
All of this aside, I have the car back, and it's even better now as I don't set the alarm of at 5:55am!
All in all it went well, the loaner car was shit, the guys at BMW were shit, but the mechanics were sound.
It went to Bolton abbey :
Then it sort of attended the French Owners Rolling Road Day at Evotune in Durham :
I'll just leave this here

delimited it's 205mph, however the pitifully small fuel tank runs out at 178mph.
Also Muz is gay.

If you can't run a 320, don't get one of these!

Nah man. I do work from home. But she likes it because it's an auto.
And because it's not a tail happy over steering rwd it's also nice and safe for her to use. Frankly I'm staggered Matt is still alive in yours tbh.

So, prior to Teesside in the Red PEril, myself and D4MJT had a mince up to Hartside in the M5, it was a sunny day, it was good!
We had a mixed grill and a brew at the Hartside Cafe and then I unleashed the M button on the way down, it's staggering how quickly it will go and how well it handles for its size.
For me I learned that the diff appears to be "the tits" it's a very strange feeling to have the back of the car push/pulling it around a corner.
Heading home on one of the uphill multi hairpin bits, the DSC was off, instantly it was back end out (the car, not Matt), and once at the top of that section it was promptly switched back on. It's very subtle in how it assists, but it would be hedge city in no time if you didn't concentrate.
Anyway, it's quite good!
