I'm actually getting to the point where I am getting disallusioned by the whole thing.

Instead of getting into the car and thinking what a great car it is, I'm getting into it and thinking what crap the seats are.

I currently have a Cooper 'S' on order. I am at the stage where unless something happens soon, I will be cancelling the order and selling my Cooper.

It really hurts when I thing that I spent £14,800 on this car. I waited four years for it (since it was first seen at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1997). And the whole package has been let down by the fact that BMW cannot put decent seats into it.
