    I can see why its been done  but if someone comes in AFTER lock down and back to normal with a part exchange and uses the "its mot 6 months Extension mate" and the MOT has long expired they will be told to go and get an MOT, as there will be no excuse at that point.

    no reply by the op? mileage?

    for those interested - n47 engine, was on u.k recall for chains due to possible worn plastic rollers causing stretched or rattly chains 2007-2009 1,3,5 series cars, however later extended from 2007-2011 to include x1 as a recall but only in other markets, however bmw uk are calling it a bulletin rather than a recall, which sounds like a swerve, i'm guessing they will look and possibly replace rollors and chains as a precaution, but unlikely to act on an engine failure?

    i had a couple of 1 series done on the first recall no quibble by bmw, but they were both sub 5 years and 60k miles at the time, i guess not to be expected on an 11 year old x1 with ? miles..

    anyone on here had any joy with a recall on a higher mileage x1??

    Yes this

    Got a 2008 3 series coupe with the N46 and the engine is brand new only done 54k on the chassis. BMW fitted a new engine free of charge after a recall in Jan this year.

    They've changed the PAYG dealer portal. In the past you could add upgrades and it would tally up how many ££ worth of upgrades the car had. That's gone now and it's basically like the private side of AutoTrader. Not sure what the point or logic is.

    They have no point or logic at all

    I wonder how many will actually sign up? The only benefit I can see is that you can actually sell cars on there where you had to be a franchised dealer on Dealer Auction?

    I maybe wrong as I've not signed up but thats what it looks like.

    yes thats correct you can list your own stock on there
