Close now

It will go to the DC in Northants.
The DC at Thorne is now used for prepping and repair of used vehicles and ex-lease vehicles. BMW now have a massive site at Immingham for the new cars-- acres and acres of shiny new beemers as far as the eye can see, right on the side of the Humber Estuary.

Many years ago i used to transport Nissan cars from Teesport (off the boat) and take them to storage in a place called Wellsbourne in Warwickshire. It was an old airfield and there were thousands of them there, just stood outside quietly rusting away.

Picked mine up last Friday - having done the deal the previous weekend.

I would prefer the dealer to have done it

I wasn't asked. I didn't know it would happen.

I could have had another one that was in the showroom but it had that SOS button and i didn’t want that. My bike will be with the dealer on Tuesday so trying to arrange to pick it up Saturday. Need a lift into Aberdeen lol.

I asked at BMW off road last week why they didnt disable the SOS on the bikes as it goes off every time the bike is dropped,the response was Mothership wants £80 per bike to disable it so no they just leave it on.

The problem being they charge £305 for it as an option. I wasnt paying that so ordered another bike without it.

Yes, mine has the SOS thing (seems that dealers always specify it). I told them I didn't want it and we negotiated a bit.

I didnt, it was take it or leave it and there was another bike being built and due at dealers in three weeks so decided to wait, im in no hurry (well i wasnt then lol)

Where do they go to have the “quick rusting compound” sprayed onto them? I’m guessing that the leaky brakes are a factory fit?

We used to deliver the fuel into their storage tanks-- super unleaded for the bikes plus diesel for the cars and gasoil for the de-waxing plant.
Last time i was there was just after the London Olympics when they were flat out refurbing the 3000 cars supplied by BMW as runarounds for the games organisers. There was a massive skip full of dinged alloys( with big holes drilled in them to prevent re-use...) and various piles of bodyparts damaged during the games.
