[Bob UK]

Well I bought my Jul 2012 120d Sport (As seen in my sig) as an AUC in May 2013 with 9,400 miles on the clock. 18 months later the car has 14,100 miles on (No I don't do big miles and the DPF has been fine, not even a regen that I have noticed). It has not been the best of ownership experiences tbh although I love the way it drives and consumption has been superb at 51mpg average overall with a high of 63mpg on a long motorway run.

I had to make a choice recently with 8 months warranty to run on keeping it long term or changing for something else due to a lack of confidence in the car. Faults have all been fixed now and it's all as it should be but I have decided to change the car and will post in my own thread once it happens.

Fault history :-

Returned to source dealer (Stratstone Chesterfield) for blower mod after 3 days.
Timing chain, guides, tensioners, rollers and water pump timing gear replaced at 9,900 miles.
Both front sport seat frames replaced due to corrosion of seat plates.
Foot pedal pivot bolt bushes replaced (Clicky pedal problem)
Oil pan (Sump) failure requiring BMW recovery after engine oil loss (No damage)
Exhaust fumes entering cabin, flexible exhaust section failed needing specialist welding and bracket replacement.
Exhaust smell still evident requiring revisit for air system cleaning and all filters replaced.
A/C system generating whirring noise in use - refridgerant replaced as pressure was fine.
Tailgate clonk - still present as it's intermittent and I'm changing anyway.

Have to say my local dealership Marshall Scunthorpe (Formerly Astle) has been nothing short of brilliant whenever work has been required and always provided a free courtesy car which is why they are getting my buisiness to change.
