Purchased a bmw 5 series, running problems started less than 2 weeks after picking up the car, told to take to a garage of their choice and was fixed but would seem only temporary. This same problem has since happened again and been back to the garage, picked it back up after having it 'fixed', only for the same problem to return shortly afterwards. No paperwork from garage to back up repairs that had been done and since then absolutely zero aftercare from cullens. At time of writing (6.2.15) I still have the same problem (car goes into 'limp home mode' and therefore loses power under acceleration) almost every time I use it. Totally fed up and disappointed with it, and wish I had given the car a more thorough examination as I had failed to notice a bad respray on the rear quarter offside and rear bumper with evidence of overspray too. The lacquer being done properly was what prevented me from spotting this, but my fault for not picking this up. Nothing in service history to suggest of previous accident damage so bit confused as to what had happened to cause the (bad) respray.... All in all I wish I had walked away after viewing the car but I did genuinely like it at the time and had thought of the seller as a helpful person at the time. On this bad experience which is still ongoing (I will be looking to take it to a specialist or even bmw dealer to get it fixed properly) I can say I wouldn't be using Cullens again.
