    Hey all, Just wondered what people's thoughts are on the current BMW range of paint colours, and colour choice on modern cars in general?

    I've owned my F31 for a year now. It's a 17 plate but I am noticing two of the diamond cut 403M wheels are starting to corrode around the centre caps. I bought the car mainly because it was an M sport and had the look I wanted so I am really pissed off that such a young car will need a wheel...

    For smart repairs for my 7, I have been quoted only £179 for 15cm marks i.e Smart repair. BMW want £379 for two years - is there a thread here about smart repair UK companies or policies. It seems to be a good option from my perspective? Agree?
