Well this should say it all.....

In 6 weeks absolutely no contact at all from anyone at BMW

Proved by Insurance independent to be a fault with the car......

Wiring to the cas module defective

No idea where it is, got paid out, cost me a lot as no gap insurance

Worried me that the insurance guy said 'you'd be surprised how common this is!'

Just about but the values have dropped so much it's silly

My point is however I would've expected at least a callback especially considering it was financed through them

If the insurance paid out enough to put you back in pretty much the same car how has it cost you a lot ?
Some hassle whilst being without a car and some forms to fill in.

It would have been nice for BMW UK to get in touch to say sorry and with perhaps a small goodwill gesture but you're acting as if you're entitled to a lot more.

You've read the story of the woman sueing for a lifetime supply of Kit Kat because the one she bought had no wafer in it ?

st happens, no one intends it to and most importantly I assume no one was hurt.

Where I come from 6 grand is a fair chunk of cash to lose between payout and what was owed in finance - perhaps you're richer than I

You need to settle finance before even thinking of another car, the insurance company pay finance co with the owner settling the difference directly to finance company- you then get a discharge letter absolving you on any further liability
