That's totally appalling & way below expected standards Just out of interest was it Elms Stanstead or Elms Bedford who made this awful mess ?

Wow !!! and I thought Elms Stanstead were inept and cock handed with this type of job
If I were you I'd report your findings straight to the top @ BMW (GB) HQ naming & shming the before mentioned dealer.
It's the sure way to get this resolved... don't ask me how I know

I need to give Elms the opportunity to put it right, if they don't then the fun begins.

The dealer in Scotland wants to pull everything off top and bottom to clean and reseal the entire boot floor.

Elms are looking at the pictures now, I will see what they say tomorrow.

If I were you I'd ask the Scottish dealer to have a look inside all the rear boot cavities with a video inspection scope for any rust eating it's way from inside out, considering the amount of surface rust you have now. If any cavity rust is found I would insist on Elms Bedford having to do this job all over again, to a much higher standard.

I'm the same with mine, Stanstead and a superb job.

I think you might be right Brett about them subbing out the work.
