woohoo

 

Wow! That's awesome. Going with another M3?

I would love to have seen the look on that tech's face when he duplicated the problem.

 

 

....ding ding ding .... you win!!!!

 

Woo! That's awesome. If they give you any ruckus for wanting to take off the parts you put on (except for the floor mats and stuff like that), I'd just go along with it. Can't really beat a new car.

 

Yea I know , I still kept all the oem parts , so I dont think they would have any issues with it

 

i really wanted a m3 before i got my tl i was looking for get the 95-97 body m3. i probably still would of loved it. i have already had to make some repairs to my car only owning it for three months water leaked into the headlight cause they didnt put the low beam and high beam seals so when it flooded water seeak into it and blew the ballast out. now im heard my drive shock or something go bad and creakes badly while steering and while the car goes up and down

 

 

Glad everything worked out for you in the end Dave.

 

^Thanks a lot guys

 

That guy is hilarious.

"...BMW's are great cars!...not this muddaf***a"

 

Congratulations again Dave, great to see BMW came through against all odds.

Any changes on the 2012 car?

 

Thanks bro

The 2012 wont be out until later this year , so I guess ill have to settle for the 2011.5 , not complaining.

 

Glad things turned out for you.

So are you gonna get the same exact options? Same color? Just wondering as some people probably would get a different color if they could do it over again.

 

Dealer really came to bat for you this time. Props to them.

 

Yea I think I will go with the mineral white , with everything the same , and maybe just add the extended leather, my car was fully loaded with everything ,execpt the extended leather which I ordered , but I guess they forgot to add it in -.-

 

That car is absolutely amazing, very happy that you have found resolution. One way or another...they found the problem...and will fix it, OR you will get another car. No downside there.

 

Sweet! Congratulations on getting everything straightened out! What will you be driving meanwhile though? Ask for a 5 series!

 

lol they gave me a 328i last week , so I guess ill be stuck with it until I get my new car, but I did see a new 7 series loaner, maybe ill ask to trade in this for that , but that might just be pushing my luck a bit

Whatever happens tho, I can honestly say i'm happy with how things turned out.

 

congrats Dave

glad everything worked out. persistence paid off quite well

 

Really glad it worked out for you, Dave. That really must have been a relief.

I also liked that you did not lose sight of the fact that BMW stepped up and did the right thing.

There's never a multi-forum crosspost extravaganza for that ... Just when someone gets screwed.

BMW and the dealer deserve a lot of credit ... And you stayed pretty composed the whole time.

 

I think this thread is living proof that being polite and nice but sticking to your guns can get a lot more done in your favor than screaming and making an ass of yourself.

 

White's my favorite color on the M3! Did you have the sunroof? (I'm too lazy to look back.) I ask because the carbon fiber roof would look sweet with that color!

 

Thanks man, that means a lot

Yea carbon fiber roofs look best on white cars , thats why i didn't have a sunroof on my car, it would be cool if you could have both, but thats not a option as of yet.

 

Tint.

 

 

Great to hear your situation was resolved, Dave! Now go get you some more M3!

 

I just came back from the dealer and they are going to order me a new car , just with the mineral white instead of alpine white and the extended leather.They also gave some good news , since ill have to wait about 2 months for the new car, they said I can drive my old car until the new one arrives(after they fix everything next week). =D

 

I wouldn't drive it

 

Thats some great news! I have a few questions though...Did they tell you exactly what was it that broke? What could have caused it? Why did something so critical break on a 70k car with a few thousand miles?

That new color is nice! GL with everything bro! I wouldn't have taken that car back either, good call

 

this worked out better than any one could have imagined!
congrats

 

They just said they need to replace the whole steering rack,he just said something was broken inside and that was the cause of it getting jam the few times I made right turns.


Thanks bro

I know, i'm very pleased as well how it all turned out =D

 

congrats! +1 for the little guy...

 

 

So you wanna hand me the keys to your old M3

 

I've never heard of someone getting a new car out of a result of a defect. That's just incredible! I'm glad things worked out for you. That goes to show you that nothing is impossible.

 

Thats not the only reason i'm getting the new car, since I owned this car for 6 months now , its been to the dealer for over 45 days out of the 6 months , I had no navigation for over 2 months( just drove around with a black screen , no radio or ipod), steering locking up could of killed me ,and a list of other things , so they basically had no choice , if I had took a lawyer for this issue , they would of ended up losing much more, so I think a new car is fair, they are lucky that no one got hurt , or they would of lost millions.

 

Maybe the dealer will sell it for a good price to you

 

Got it. So what are the conditions? Do you start a new note (provided you financed) and they are taking your old car as a trade or will they be configuring a deal to keep your current payment and term as if the new car was never part of the equation? Or are they going to buy back the old M3, not make it part of the deal and start new payments (again, provided you financed)?

 

Im not really sure , the sales guy I spoke to just took my order, he said he will work out everything with BMW and the director of operations at the dealer ship , so ill find out everything on monday. He said most likely ill just keep paying my same old payments on the same loan, but im not 100% sure , ill let you guys know when I do.
