Poor form from BMW to ditch the spare wheel or even room to fit one in, I mean, what were they thinking!... that run flats are the way forward? They are the way backward IMO. Foolish from BMW, foolish.All this lack of service talk has had me in fits of giggles, c'mon its not all women that are ignorant. I remember viewing that "dog" S2000 on here that was for sale, from Hereford. I think I could be allowed to say it was as atrocious a sports car you could ever imagine. Lacked service( was told before viewing there was loads), lacked care and HE claimed it was in excellent condition. Yeh.. in excellent condition for turning into Baked Bean cans. I've no problem buying a cat D, or a car that requires a bit of TLC/attention.... so long as its cheap and won't owe me much if it fails. When you look for a minter (ish), you expect something impressive, I guess. Exterior had more so many door dings (10-15 on each side, I kid you not), I reckon this RAF kid took it to war with him! Plus it was running on Michelin Primacy, which made the car "edgy"
, cocked steering wheel, leaking rear diff, aircon compressor was BROKEN not a re-gas. Huge rip in the red leather bolster... No history wallet. The wheels were average condition, bubbling on rear arch. If only I had Skype called him, so he could show me the condition. Hmmmmm. Ever been angry with a seller like above? This was the Hereford dog....

my missus treats her car like a f@#king mobile skip
she has that attitude but is too smart to tell anyone, leaving it to me to get the f@#king thing serviced.
has driven the S once this year i think. i shat myself all day.
she's driven the BM once and ended up doing 110 leptons before she noticed.

Now now guys can be just as bad.
I've run a few cars into ground. Usually 3-400 quid bangers it's not worth the expenditure of servicing consumables on because something else will render it unroadworthy before any damage is done by not running fresh oil.
And I've a few guy mates who's cars are only serviced because it's a company car or their dad makes them.

Wish I got a photo of my friends E46 discs last week... vented, well kind of, the outter part of the rotor was as thin as a rizzla skin... tapped it with a hammer and it flaked and chipped off...
