1st car owner tips

Just understand that run flats, when flat and driven on, will need to be replaced ASAP.

They don't recover from the above once patched/re-inflated.

They're great if you want the safest tyre around, but they're not economical. They don't give you a magical edge over non-RFT tyres when deflated.

Correct, run flats just makes sure you have the option of getting out of a dangerous area.

If stay slow and careful, they might not get damaged.

Welcome to the Bimmer club, lots of speeding fines waiting for you!

Did they set you up on your MyBMW app when you took delivery?

Let’s see how your fuel consumption goes.
This has been my best so far (it was a very short trip,lol)

Hopefully you have that no excess insurance for it, which funnily enough wasn’t on your list.

Wow. What a sour sentence.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Ouch. That's why I like a nice, fat aspect ratio on my tyres.

Never understood the appeal of the only thing protecting your wheels being a thin sliver of rubber.

First pothole you come across and it's game over.

Good luck with your claim!

 

[SauRoNZA]

Wow. What a sour sentence.

Huh? What on earth is sour about it?

 

[FiestaST]

I don't think/feel statement was sour, it does not come across to me like that.

To me it actually comes across as showing concern?

Unless maybe (and a stretch here) the funnily enough part.

 

[rjay100]

PM broker details lol. That’s quite a discount.
Which insurance company is this with?

Missed this. You have been PM’d

Make sure you read the fine print on your service plan, make sure you know what it covers. Park FAR away from other cars it is a bit wide so getting in and out of the car is hard. Don't drive it hard and it will serve you forever. Despite my distaste for BMW they build good cars and if you take care of it, it should take care of you.

I misinterpreted. Came across as sarcastic. Apologies

You might want to stick your finger in your ear and turn the snowflake level down to 1.

This is a joke, in case it’s not obvious.

Ok tough guy. I said you won.

You are waaaaayyyy too serious on this Sunday morning.

Good luck getting it sorted. It will be much easier without the victim complex.
