I must say this was quite possibly the worst buying experience I’ve ever had in all honesty. I pre paid for the car in full before attending to make life easier and show my commitment on what your sales person had told me and the way the car was described, I was confident there would be no issues whatsoever. I had been very clear from day 1 what my expectations of the car was as I do not usually entertain distance buying like this (I am based in Essex). I travelled 1 way by train to purchase the car and on inspection not only was the car not prepared correctly there were stone chips present (many on the near side bonnet and a single one on the rear quarter) and there has been damage to the front bumper which has been repaired very poorly. I asked for a full list of works that had been carried out on the car and was told that in its short lifetime it had 2 rear wheels replaced and the windscreen, I questioned whether it had ever had any bodywork and was told no. I was also shown a video presentation of the car and it clearly states that there are no stone chips!! I have also noticed a small amount of damage to the leather on the back of both driver seats. I can conclude we were made to feel very uncomfortable and completely mislead by the dealer and blatantly lied to. This dealership cannot be trusted unfortunately. The car in question was a low mileage M5 that was 8 months old, at a cost of £71k, the brand is superb, Bowker’s are very poor as is BMW customer services unfortunately.

As a dealer we are sorry the car didn’t meet your expectations. Unfortunately the car you purchased was not brand new and unfortunately it had a few small stone chips on the bonnet and wing as it had covered a quite few thousand miles. That being said as a gesture of goodwill we offered to pay the full cost of respraying the full front end of the car at your chosen approved bodyshop as requested by yourself. It is a shame that although you requested it and said it would resolve the issue it has still left you leaving such a poor review,
Car went into Bowker BMW Blackburn for simple warranty repair. Then to be told car had been damaged whilst on site after 2 weeks and £2600 of repair work was given back with paint missing wheel damaged Paint defects. No customer service what so every. Advise would be to stay away.
