Around 12 weeks ago I bought a used (2013) BMW M5. All was good for a week, then a nasty brake squeal developed. The dealership initially said it was down to new pads and they would bed in. However, five weeks later, the problem continued and I took the car back. I was then told it was a characteristic of the car.

We ended up chopping the car in for a nearly new 530d, but are £5500 out of pocket for 11 weeks ownership. Do I have a claim against BMW or the dealership as we feel we were mis-sold the car? They spoke glowingly about the V8 engine and the drive etc, all of which we loved, but didn't mention that when the brakes get hot in traffic, it will sound like an old bus!
