Fuel-stretching killed my BMW - what will I do?
Hi, we have a 2005 BMW 116i that ground to halt last week and turns out to be its dodgy petrol that caused the problem (i.e. petrol stretching ). We have been quoted anywhere from €1,500 to €4,000 to fit a new engine. At this stage would we be better to try and sell it as is or try and get it fixed as it has been a very problematic car.

Which of these diesel cars should I import from the UK?
I plan on going to the UK to buy a car soon. Thinking of a 2010/2011 diesel, a Qashqai, Passat, Sportage or Octavia. If I got a Kia it would still have warranty. Any other make with warranty like this? Can you give me advice?
