Update:
Took the car back to BMW on saturday. Had the service guy look at it, by chance the mechanic walked past and took a look, stright away he diagnosed the failed welds ( not sure how he missed them first time round....) and put it up on a ramp. They have taken some photos and have submitted the claim to BMW, fingers crossed.
The floor doesnt seem to have cracked like some people have posted, it's the welds that have come apart....

Update
After dropping the car off at Hexagon BMW nearly two weeks ago, BMW UK finally agreed to cover 100% of the claim last Friday. I have just picked up the courtesy car today, 1.25l fiesta with 10 miles on the clock.... it isn't a mini but at least I should be able to get a bike in the back of it
The bodyshop reception manager has been very good and estimates the car will take 4-5 weeks to put right, which includes 2 weeks to wait for a slot. Am now looking to see what sort of economy I can get out of the fezza

I know it's a big ask but can you scan the paperwork (obviously blocking out personal info) so that we can add the specifics to this thread?Out: 99 S50 Titan Silver V876 KKO

Cheers,
Paul (very relieved that he doesn't need to spend the next 5 weekends welding, grinding, filling and painting!)

It would be very useful to compile a list with details of cases where BMW UK have coughed up, including:
- Mileage and age of car
- Full BMW service history vs indie servicing
- Had the car been repaired before
- What fix was done (new boot floor vs re-welded, etc.)
Although BMW UK seem to have been good to-date, I suspect that this won't continue indefinitely as the cars get older, and a comprehensive list of "test cases" will be a useful tool for anyone trying to get an agreement in the future.
