DO NOT BUY THE BMW 540i YC56 LHV...

Long story short I bought a BMW 540i from Autoline of Loughborough to find out it had valve stem seal issues which costs £2500 to replace. Dealer did not want to pay out anything, even though i offered to pay half to get it fixed. He just wanted to take the car back to resell it to someone else who may not notice the problem with a little oil treatment additive. After 12 weeks of being without a car he finally had to buy the car back from me with the help of Zuto but even then Zuto dragged it out by misleading me into believing they would pay for the repair and claim it from the dealer at a later date. In the end he had to buy the car back due to the problem. According to the dealer there was no problem even though the car was puffing out a huge cloud of smoke after sitting idle for a couple of mins. Had a diagnostic check done by 2 different technicians who both said the same thing. But yet the dealer still said there was no issue. Dealer also sold me the car with a punctured tyre and refused to replace it, I did not notice at first as it was a run flat. Dealer said it could have happened on the way home. Not possible as after inflating it the tyre took 2 weeks to go back down. Which meant it was a slow puncture and he reset the tyre monitor before selling the car to me. Seriously this dealer can not be trusted.
