update finally got a call from the bodyshop, they shotblasted the rear arch and it was worse than they thought, so have had to go back to bmw and request the ok to replace the rear arch , and its going to be another couple of weeks before i can expect it back.
I phoned them over a week ago, the guy in charge of warranty work for the approved body shop said it would probably be ready last Thursday or Friday. He also gave the impression that because it's warranty work its not high on their agenda.
Update time. There is no update! 3 weeks and 1 day since I dropped the car off at BMW I still don't have it back, and they haven't called me with any updates either. im not impressed tbh. No idea what the hell they are doing to it, a full restoration perhaps. Still at least I have the courtesy car
So the Simota has arrived! Unfortunately I can't fit it as the car is still with bmw for warranty work on the bodywork, been 2 weeks they said should be ready Thursday/Friday.
Been ok. Cars been away since week last Friday for bodywork and not heard anything. Been loving the cooper d , cracking little car. I have bought a Simota Carbon intake after watching vids and trying to decide what intake to buy to release sone noise, and also a set of eibach arbs to compliment...
Oh dear, the boxes on these really are chocolate. How much is a rebuild? Suppose it depends on how much you like the car and are prepared to spend on fixing it
