    In addition, the car was only partially financed to plug 'the gap' between a part ex and cash element of the sale. This was done privately with a very preferable rate (3.9% APR) and is costing me practically nothing over the short period it is financed for.
    So the finance is a personal bank loan, rather than any kind of secured finance as part of the sale?

    As far as the injectors go, has there been any suggestion of mis-fuelling? Ignition problems AND injector problems together, after three weeks of driving a "new-to-you" car?
  • OP you should have done your research before buying your car. The E90/92 318i and 320i are plagued with injector problems.

    At the high end of the 'expensive failures' list?
