Track your BMW: at your BMW center

dick w · 09-10-2009, 05:04 PM

Is there a state after this on the BMW owner's site? I've been driving mine for almost a month now and still it says:

Just curious?!?

Would you like it to say "You're already driving the car, why are you checking the website?"

In all seriousness, why would BMW track it beyond delivery to the dealer? As far as BMW is concerned, that's the end of their part of the journey.

Well, for one, because to get to the BMW FS site, I login and see the "Track your BMW" banner. I'll be seeing that for 59 more payments...

I guess I was expecting it to be like, say, mbusa.com or handacars.com or acura.com and provide post sales content like maintenance and so forth. In this context, the "track your BMW" stuff would seem sensible to just go away.

Mine is still at preparation center according to website. And I had it for almost a year now...

I would be more concerned if it showed the actual current location of my 1er!

I guess it makes sense that it should go away because it was purely designed to track the delivery process (and did so, poorly) and nothing post-sale.

I believe they're adding the stages "Side of the Road" and "Back At Dealer, Yet Again" for 135's.

Mine says: "Wash me."
