BMW UK website most down in known universe?

[JakeR]

Is it just me or does anyone else find that the BMW UK website is down more than any other site ever?

Trying to get on it for a week now to use the car configurator. Wretched thing is down every day.

It'd have to go a long way to be down more than PH.

[JakeR]

PH not even close... just checked BMW one again and yep, down. How can a company producing such fantastic cars put up with such IT muppetry?

Not down for me! Never found it to be inaccessible and spent lots of time on it in recent months chosing a new car.

[JakeR]

the address is www.bmw.co.uk right?

that's what google throws up. Still down...

[530dTPhil]

That's correct and when I click on your link, I get straight through. I think you need to turn off your pop up blocker to use the configurator (Under 'Tools' in the toolbar at the top of the screen)

Never fails to load for me m8. You want to have your PC looked at...

My thinking would be different - is the website of one of the largest most efficient, most profitable car manufacturers down all the time and noone in the entire company and dealership network has noticed or is it maybe me?

hmmm

ok ok, if its only me then its only me... I take it all back.

I still cant understand why it doesnt work?? I've checked my settings, I've tried on firefox and IE, no joy.

My PC is totally standard and running Vista... Also, I have been able to access the site previously, and havent changed anything since. Furthermore, I dont have any problems accessing any other website I have tried. Hey ho.

LOL, sorry for poking fun.

Goto www.filehippo.com, under 'Drivers' download DirectX and Java Runtime. If that fails try moneysavingexpert.com then forums, then techie stuff. Put a post on there, somebody will know.
