[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 497914, member: 20098"] Well agree to disagree and all that - I'm going by the advice given by CAB that we have a strong case, and given the nature of the failure and the period that it has failed in, I feel the same. I had heard that the engine may not be a BMW designed one, but at the end of the day, the car is sold as a BMW, and it is down to them to make sure that the components they source are fit for purpose. I regard BMW as a premium brand (along with the likes of Audi and Mercedes), as would a lot of people... you pay more for a BMW than a comparable manufacturer, and so should expect better quality... I'm fully aware that Mini didn't have to pay anything, but to be honest, my gut feeling says that they've offered what they have done in order to cover their costs and hopefully 'keep me quiet', because they know full well that an engine shouldn't have failed under these circumstances. But anyway, the point of this thread wasn't to defend my actions, although it is interesting to here the constructive side to both parties involved. As it stands, I have sourced an inspector who will stand in court if required, so will see what the outcome is tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
