Holy crap dude. I'm so sorry.
As an employee of a dealership, I apologize on their behalf. Please don't let their idiocy interfere with your future experiences with other dealerships. |

He WANTED to pay $10k over sticker, he wasn't forced into it. Do we see how each and every one of our cars are driven before they are in our hands? Do we see how they are driven, or left idling, while they are in for service? This one was caught on video so we can fight back against it, but you have to be careful what you ask for. Why would the dealer give back $10k when that was the agreed price for the car? The owner is worried about reliability, correct? So you give the owner extended warranty to show that if something does go wrong, BMW stands behind their product. Yes, it's not fair that the owner didn't get to launch the car before the dealer did, but as Mr. Europe said, most ED owners take their cars to the track as soon as they pick them up. Reliability is not the issue, we are just being immature and saying "it's my toy, i should have gotten to play with it first". For that, you get an extended warranty, or $2k back, not an arm and a leg which you gave up for no reason to get this toy in the first place. Just my opinion. It's not worth your time and there should be more important things in life than this. Think of it this way, if there was no video, you wouldn't have known sh*t and you would have been in the same shoes as 99.9% of the rest of the world and BMW owners. You're not the first, nor are you the last to get something like this. Same sh*t will happen with your (and our) next car probably but it won't be on video.

I'd mod the shit out of the car and if any issue pops up blame the dealer. Have them sign a contract to fix any problem that crops up, to bmw standards, no questions asked. Reverse warranty violation!

The issue is NOT whether the car is damaged, the issue is that they knowingly misrepresented a new cherry car for one that this probably not cherry. On your point of people taking the car to the track, Nurburgring is about 300 miles. So even if someone decides to drive straight from Welt to Nurburgring, the car would at least be warmed up and have 300 miles of break in. This car was brand new non PDI and probably had less than 1 mile when abused. Finally, there is a reason BMW says to take it easy on these cars for the first 1200 miles. They don't say that just for the heck of it. There IS a reason for it.....the parts have to seat correctly or they damage. Period. |

With that said I doubt that any harm was done after all it is a BMW 1 ///M it is built to take whatever you can think off... BUT the dealership should show some form of formal apology in whatever form YOU wish it to be in |

Expose the scumbags that run Pacific. Didn't they list their two 1Ms as used in order to bypass their corporate policy for not charging over MSRP on new cars?

EDIT: What these idiots did was price one car at $40k over MSRP, and the other car (the one in question on this thread) at $20k over MSRP, but due to the disclosure of the joy ride, they "only" charged $10k over MSRP without disclosing anything to the buyer specifically. |

apart from 2k for a hard drive in the break in period.
the dealership is cheating on customers, because the information was not disclosed, if they don't show courtesy to your offer, consider punitive compensation |

Obviously for something like this to get so much publicity, it is not standard practice by any means. Nobody goes into a dealership expecting the techs to act as they did in the case of Pacific BMW. That's just ridiculous to expect of anyone. Yes, people take their cars to the tracks with 5 miles on them. Who cares? That is their decision, and they get to make it because they own the car. Not the technicians. The issue here ISN'T reliability. The issue is a misrepresentation of a product. As a dealership your only job is to get the car from manufacturer to client. Yes, things can happen that are outside of their powers, but this is entirely different. An employee is a representation of a company. By hiring somebody you're saying that you are responsible for what they do at work. When a dealership can't guarantee that their techs won't **** with the car, who would do business with them? 10k is a drop in the bucket in comparison to the bad press they could be getting if this becomes more public. |
