Yesterday morning saw my car dropped into Barons of Bishops Stortford for a few pieces I wanted sorted under warranty (expires March 2018):

- Drivers upright seat bolster showing excessive wear and cracking
- Of late, the gearbox has become jerky and also indecisive/sluggish
- The interior light/ACC fault

Have to say, picked the car up in the evening and was pleasantly surprised:
- New seat cover, foam and heating element(?) ordered, will be fitted next week.
- Gearbox software updated, now seems to be working as it should, the technician commented that it was "behaving appallingly", so not just me
- They acknowledge the problem with the interior light and have asked BMW Germany for the fix, to hopefully be done at the same time as the seat repair.

So all in all, a worthwhile trip ....now, the schoolboy error ....I forgot to save my key profile and have lost all the settings , and also lost all my coding as part of the software update (I can live with that and just reinstall) - won't make that mistake again on the profile though, what a faff it is doing it all over again. The guy on the counter did say in passing that my car had a few non-standard 'features' (boot close with one press, folding mirrors on click, mph display in digital panel etc) and was intrigued as to who had coded them....I don't think he actually believed me when I said I had

Anyway, the point of this post I guess, a from me for Barons Bishops Stortford.....and don't make the same mistake as me, back up your profiles people
