    sorry all the op wanted was the airbag light problem fixed, the only thing he asked for.
    he got a receipt for this.


    if pulling the bulb out is acceptable then these guys are undefendable whether its a trade sale or not.

    no wonder people are suspicious

    From what I've read, the seller undertook to turn the light off and this was done. Sold as seen means whatever goes wrong with the car is simply not their problem... You can't have it every way...

    cant have it every way.pulling the bulb out isnt exactly having it every way,even from a safety aspect its wrong.

    maybe op the best way is word of mouth , tell everyone you meet about your garage.
    theres enough good honest garages and mechanics out there for other people not to have to deal with there lies and lack of safety.... trade sale or not

    Look, when your dealing with a garage that is taking out a bulb to fix a problem, you are pis*ing into the wind. Forget them and get it sorted elsewhere and chalk it up to experience...

    If this is all that's wrong with this car after being in a garage that has that approach to vehicle maintenance, the OP is extremely lucky...

    Is it even possible to take out an airbag warning lamp "bulb"??? I doubt it, but id like to hear from any BMW techs out there on that point???

    Also, like Darragh said many times, asking a sales man to have a warning light "turned off" and actually asking him to get it fixed are 2 totally different things!

    Possible scenario: sales man phones BMW dealer and asks them to quickly put out the light, customer drives to Dealership, mechanic at dealership turns out light knowing its a waste of bloody time and thinks to himself what arseholes some sales people are, and wishes they wouldnt waste his time like this!!!! sorry for the total rant, couldnt help it lol
