Sunday Times have been running a campaign for them to own up to the problem - every week several people have reported the fault and BMW have been denying up until now

i turned the corrado on once and all this petrol was pouring out the back, i phoned a garage who towed it away and couldn't find a problem and told me it was fine.
It leaked again so i got my spanners out and fixed it myself, didn't need to go crying to Volkswagen about it.

These cars are new though and cost alot of money. (unlike your rusty old thing)
