Thanks, like Mr Kemp said on TV tonight it doesn't feel like I won, just didn't lose!
Certainly glad I didn't PX my A7 and had it to fall back on for the time being.
Looking at Bimmer post and my experience it certainly looks like we are a load of Guinea pigs.
I hope I catch wind of when they sort the issues out, so I can get one back on order again. Maybe a evolution by that time with some extra hp!

Thanks, weirdly feel gutted

but feel relieved I wont be putting misses and kids in a awkward situation if it happened again when she was driving.

According to the dealer BMW are unaware of any brake problem/s!
It’s on a Puma case whatever that maybe!
I hope they send the car back to BMW UK or Germany to sort it, and not sale it to some unsuspecting punter.

If anyone on here can follow the Puma case, I would appreciate it if they can let me know the outcome?
Thanks in advance

Out of interest, did BMW offer to take it back, or did you insist?

Good to hear BMW took it back, Shawn.

Did you ever see the videos of the poor Canadian bloke, who had to battle really hard with Porsche to get them to take back his 997 which had numerous serious faults?

I had to insist, about 20 times or so.
When I mentioned I would contact BBC watchdog, they said they would get back within 24hrs , which they did to tell me cheque was in the post.
I will have to search to watch the video.
