Bmw approved used standards in the uk, thoughts on this

I know Mark, how they say it comfortably exceeds Bmw approved used standards��

Call BMW U.K and send them on the video. I cant believe the supplying dealer let an approved used car out with brakes like that. Just mention the words health and safety regularly.

As regards the mileage, I'd well believe it has very little mileage looking at those disks. That's a classic case of car sitting up for months upon end, drove 2 minutes to the shop, brake never get a chance to clean off the build up of rust and then sits up again.

Can I ask how much mileage has been added to the car since you bought it?

You sure can, I bought it with 30k Kms and there's 31900 on it now. That's the trip to cork from the uk, a spin to west cork and commuting to work everyday. The brakes felt weak on the journey home from the uk which I said to my buddy who came with me. I highlighted the issue to the salesman nearly three weeks ago and he said keep him posted.

Ok, the approach I would take is to make a complaint to BMW UK about the dealers AUC preparation process, seek a copy of the documentation that the dealer should have from the multi point checks and then use the Kearys check as supporting evidence of the dealer fiddling the AUC certification process. Suggest that you will have the car inspected by an independent engineer to assess whether the car matches the certification report.

You can inform the dealer that the car is not as advertised and if it's within the last 30 days tell them you want to reject the car. Additionally you can report them to Trading Standards

Some amount of rust/corrosion in general on the underbody parts

My 22 year old E36 would only have that amount
