My local Enterprise shuts at 12 on a Sat, so I still have the 320 until Monday as I cannot return it yet....
I left the enterprise car at the dealership when I picked mine up...enterprise can deal with picking it up

Having heard enough stories in the F30 forum of cars being returned to owners with detached turbo pipes and other issues I decided to let the wife drop me off to collect my car and give it a thorough test drive before returning home.

Happily, all is good and the car can have its summer boots fitted today.
Enterprise collected their car at 8pm last night.

I'm picking my car up later (collected by BMW on 19th February) from Williams Rochdale. Work was completed yesterday but they need to charge the battery today. They advised me to leave the Enterprise car with them on collection.

My car is in at BMW Nottingham this week for the EGR check. Can only hope.....

Is it not possible for them to call you in *when* they have the parts to do the job?

Turns out my November 2014 build 535D is OK and replacement EGR not needed.

If you are experiencing (or the check reveals) certain symptoms such as coolant loss or release of exhaust gas into the cabin they will retain the car on the basis that it is dangerous to drive. They don't automatically change the EGR immediately unless the initial inspection concludes that it needs to be replaced. My understanding is that all will be replaced eventually and this programme determines the priorities.

Does that mean they let it run flat? I understood that's supposed to be very bad for batteries, buckles the plates or something and shortens their lives, but perhaps newer technology batteries are less vulerable.
