To say I'm not impressed is an understatement and to be honest if the fix work I don't want the car back.
This sort of issue on an M car after 1400 miles has finished me with this car.
Thanks for reading and all the replies.

That's a shame Steven, it does help to have a good dealer though.
Although I have to say this is the first BMW regardless of M or not I've had that hasn't been a German made one and although we don't want to ascribe cultural stereotypes I do feel it's a bit like a BL car built at Longbridge as I've had many niggles and certain parts of the build quality are well below par with this car, ones that haven't been present on the others.
The good news is if you're not happy and want to jump the pricing is very strong at the moment on them so shouldn't be too painful, I have thought about jumping out myself however the engine is for me wonderful as is the handling so I'll keep it a bit longer.
