Have you taken it up direct with BMW GB - by letter or fax?


You're joking right?


No - you will get a reply. May not be what you want to hear, though. ;-)
At least it's free.

I'd not take the word of any UK BMW dealer - crooks, the lot of them.


I know that too well. I was at a dealers the other day picking up some
parts (which actually were reasonably priced) and everyone who came in
through the door while I was waiting for ages to be served had a
problem with the work that had been or was supposed to have been
carried out. This was in Stevenage but it's been the same story at
every dealer I've been to.


Yup. Same here.

Have you tried a specialist? My initial thoughts are the knock sensors
aren't doing their job. I can recommend AMC in Garratt Lane Tooting as
being honest and competent. 020 8944 9966 I've seen M3s in there.


I had a look at the filler cap today and it says "95-98"
