Re: Why take kids shopping ?

No consideration for anyone else, the fact the mrs was stopped and the other driver whizzing around in a car park. etc etc. Repair centre has been in touch and collecting the X tomorrow leav...

Re: Why take kids shopping ?

Strong ? yes. When she shouted at my mrs ....... I don't care about your car, immediately she got out her car,  said a lot. She should have considered the child, passenger and others around firstly.

Re: Service history query

The first X5 I bought had a service book but on closer looking ALL the pen dates signatures looked the same although there were a couple of dealer stamps, which were faded as if there was not a lot of ink in the pad.
