Had a call from BMW complaints team today, he couldn't believe what's been going on. They are escalating to Peter vardy and direct to dentec, he is going to fully investigate and find out what the hell dentec have been doing. He is calling me back tomorrow at 4. They are aware dentec guaranteed I will have my car back tomorrow, again. Let's see how this pans out.

Well, finally got the car back. Went down after work, spent ages looking over it before I went into the showroom as it was parked outside. Tbf I can't fault the paint/repair work. Full tank of fuel in it as promised, just glad to finally have it back. I'll get pics up after the massive downpours stop.

Was the only compensation you got a tank of juice? I'd have pushed for an oil service as well or something like that. Saying that, they'd probably need it a couple of weeks.

Lol. I've been looking at Mk5 r32 and milltek videos on you tube. Like them a lot
Almost splashed out on one twice now. They hold their value very well and the sound is just ooooooft. If the 330 had that vr soundtrack I'd never sell it.

Few pics' tried to show the repaired rear arch, sills were done too both sides just behind front arches, whilst the time it took was a joke they have done a good job and cost me nothing. Still to fit the Simota and eibachs.

So today I took the car to Falkland performance centre to finally get the eibachs and Simota fitted, also got the front lower control arms and rear trailing arms poly bushed and the brake fluid changed as I noticed from the service book it hadn't been changed since 2011.
I'm over the moon with it now. It handles so much better and yet hasn't lost any of the comfort which is what I was worried about, so much nicer to drive now and much less body roll, the bushes have definitely sharpened up the steering to, had to get new front drop links as they were past their best. And finally the Simota, wow,! The noise is fantastic, the howl from the straight six now from 4K now is immense, sounds fantastic and it felt more responsive on the motorway driving home, had the windows down and a big smile on my face. Few pics after I got back, springs will settle a bit to.

It'll settle more on the rear. Miles better than oem. Get a video up of the simota noise
