You'd hope Sytner would be able to spot the difference :)

What's a few cubic feet of storage and an extended roofline between friends?

You're so picky! :wink:

Seem to recollect ours was advertised just like that...tried to get a wardrobe in it for the 1st 3months of ownership. Took me a while to realise......
Also been trying to get passengers in the rear of the Roadster since the DVLA insist it's a 4-seater :lol: Even bought the rear floormats for it :roll:

The worst protagonist of this is, Sytner Nottm, Head Office, and Sole Agent, for Alpina. It just shows such a lack lustre approach to sales and and quality control. Having spoken a staff member at Nottm they Picture and Advertise about 15 BMW everyday, using a pro former to upload these with many of the details being uploaded automatically. That said if sales were your business getting it right might help :oops: Conversely it doesn't seem to affect sales, just confidence. :roll:

Cheers

On a similar note (but waaaay worse in my opinion)...

We have had a JCT600 advert on the radio for months, that I hear every time I put a particular commercial station on, even for just 10 minutes, in which they claim to:

"...service any car up to 2.5cc..."

Either they are moving into the niche Radio Control car scene, or somebody made a massive blunder... It winds me up every time I hear it!!!
