AWB - 1 star at best

Unfortunately I have had to revise my review score from 5 to 1 star based on a multitude of issues that were never sorted within the 6 month warranty period ( which incidentally only covers vehicles up to 70k miles and was therefore useless on my vehicle which stood at 75k miles on the day of purchase). During my first 6 months of ownership the vehicle spent over 2 months at AWB having issues supposedly resolved but in actual fact masked. I returned the vehicle for several issues including an oil leak (resolved on the second attempt), failed rear bearing (reaolved), electrical gremlins including non-functioning air conditioning ( never resolved and now quoted £400 by BMW to resolve), creaking suspension ( I resolved myself having returned the car 4 times with no success - cost incurred to me £700 including parts, labour and setup), faulty alternator which I was told wasn't covered under warranty ( cost to me £400 for a service exchange unit which I installed to avoid labour charges), 4 wheel alignment which had supposedly been done 2 months ago ( completely seized on the cam at pins and arms rusted through - cost to me £480 parts and £150 alignment fees). Others areas for concern were the vehicle having four mixed tyres, I should have checked but when the guy tells you its had new tyres and you turn up to view in the dark i stupidly took his word for it, the extended warranty which I paid £150 for and was never extended (Still waiting for refund), penetrating oil applied to worn bushes to prevent the creaking suspension previously mentioned......the list goes on. I would be happy to share my Google timeline and WhatsApp communication between AWB and I if anybody would like clarification on my comments above.
