Expecting to sleep like a kid at Christmas

I spoke with Elms today. They confirmed that the brake fluid system was fully drained. Useful for people to be aware so they can ask less diligent dealers to do this when they have the subframe repair done.

The car does still have the APs on. Should I consider upgrading to a higher quality fluid than OEM? I don't have any immediate plans to track the car and if I do, I'll be taking it easy as I'm no driving hero.



Interesting theory and very cheeky if true. I find it hard to believe that a Dealer would be that sneaky, but accept that maybe I'm being naive. Hopefully someone with some inside knowledge can confirm what the possible outcomes are when they request authorisation.

I miss it already, boo-hoo

Nothing to do with the dealer or anything sneaky, just regional differences I suppose.
I phoned BMW UK and had it out with them, they wouldn't budge on paying the full bill.
Shame about the brake fluid, I had the good stuff installed about 4k ago. If you're not intending to track the car, its pointless having the OEM changed
First job is to get the winter rubber installed and take it out for a good trashing, I didn't get chance to drive the car as M division intended much over the last 3 months, that will sharpen the gear change up and clear the engine out.

Robert, it was Elms who did mine all sorted and blue back in now, not greeny/blue....

Looks like Elms have learnt from the mess up with yours then

Good to see you on Sunday. The level of grip from the Cups was comical - the car is much more sorted on the Vredesteins. I'm still taking it easy in the corners, but the way the car goads you on to the redline is intoxicating so it's difficult to avoid doing that! I'll leave the OEM brake fluid for the mo and change it if I get into track days.
