I dont think I'd be driving it anywhere. Surely, for the dealers' own sake, it should be transported away, preferably back to them for a refund.
If you drive it and the enging lets go, it has the potential to become a whole world of pain about liability.

E53 power folding mirrors.. a bit of help required
Its a long time since i delved into these but once troublesome, they become a significant pita. Best way to establish if the large connecter is/isnt for a puddle light is check the lens /bulb in the lower edge of the casing and trace the wiring back. Also check if there's illumination from the mirro...

LED bulbs in the fog/cornering lights
For the possible benefit of others? Having undertaken this 'mod' i was mindful that the car still pinged a bulb out warning on start-up, though self extinguished shortly after. It also pinged on engine switch off. I queried this with Philips 'Lumileds' and they sent me completely FOC what i assume i...

As much as it grieves me, I'm going to roll over and stay with the NFU

I've just been speaking to M&S insurance following an online quote of £641. (£750 if paid monthly) When you get into the nitty gritty details, having declared a modification by way of a wheels change it topped out at £1100. Are the wheels wider? Yes but BMW wheels are always wider on the rear. T...

LED bulbs in the fog/cornering lights
Just finished refitting the decor grills which are a pita to get out. This is a post that needs images which will have to follow. Some Philips Ultinon 3021 now adorn the units and the difference is literally night and day as would be expected. Of course they needed Canbus adaptors but i made a great...

What’s the issue that you need to go to ZF for? I think they only have the two passenger car centres in the UK, but there are a few Approved service centres. I had my fluids done by a BMW Indy.
