The Dealer has contacted me and told me that they will fix my car at their body shop and that is it, take it or leave it basically. I visited their body shop yesterday. They had just painted the rear door and rear fender on a brand new Alpine White 5 series. Granted, the car had not been detailed, there were fisheyes and dust marks in the paint, did not give me that lovin' feeling.
I drove by the Honda dealership yesterday and Honda seems to have the sense to apply a protective film to their 15K cars for shipping.
As far as not blaming the brand, if that works for you great!
Thing is, I bought a new car and it was damaged during shipping. Then subsequently damaged further during repair. Looking at things from a strictly monetary point of view, the car is no longer worth what it was. I am not a bankster, the 4 - 6K hit I am taking is what I think is unfair.
I don't think I am being unreasonable when I say that BMW any way you slice it is culpable for not taking the same precautions that every other car maker seems to see as a good idea when shipping cars. Then the dealer is being a bit of a douche to say, that is too bad for you, we'll fix it to our standards (which are average at best).
I have been in contact with BMW Canada, they are saying that they will take 5 days to investigate, then let me know what they want to do. Hopefully they have some good ideas.
Thanks for your suggestion Blotto649, I think your suggestion sounds like the best idea.
I just want to have my car fixed.
