Car back from BMW. New tailgate, painted and waxoiled.
Still no luck with the door. BMW say there is a possibility it has been chipped a some point?

Re: 2005 Rust
Just got a call from BMW. They agree to replace the bottom tailgate but not agreed to do the door.

Evidence of some connection in arm rest? Any Ideas?
While looking in my centre arm rest cubby hole I noticed a couple of holes and what appears to be wires.
Anybody any idea what this could have been?

Re: 2005 Rust
My understanding is 12 yr warranty implemented after Jan 2004. My car has full BMW history. Claim in progress with BMW warranty. I'll keep you updated. The body sho says they would not try a repair, but would replace the door and tailgate.

Re: 2005 Rust
It's not BMW approved. Warranty is 12 yrs. Not sure if it will qualify for repair. Will keep you updated.

2005 Rust
Recently noticed rust on inner tailgate and front drivers door (door rust starting to be visible from outside). Anyone else seen this and what are your recommendations. I have just had BMW (Coopers bodyshop of Sunderland) check this and they have taken paint depth and will propose warranty repair ...

Re: Seeking some opinions on a wheels change.
I like the look of your anthracite wheels. Black look a bit chavvy. I just had my standard wheels refurbished and should have considered anthracite.
