trans leak

[we350z]

The indy that originally looked at the car quoted me higher, If I go somewhere else now I will have to pay the dealership for diagnosing the car so screw that. It's going to cost $990 out the door, and they can replace any other smalls parts for preventative maintentance while they are in there.

All I can say is, BMWNA really did nothing for me. So either they changed their goodwill program (if it even really exists), or I don't meet their criteria. It sounds to me like they don't pay for anything unless there are extenuating circumstances, and all they really do is ask the dealer if there is anything THEY can do. I can tell you the answer to that one myself LOL.

Which is really bullshit because this was one of the first X5's to hit the road in the US. My pops got the car directly from the West coast distributor for BMWNA, he knows people there. He had this car before the stealers did. I am not one bit surprised about being left out in the cold here to tell you the truth. I never really expected them to do ANYTHING. It was worth a shot, and maybe you just don't hear from others who were turned down. Who the hell knows?

By the way Leonora is an administrative assistant who fields the emails and assigns them to customer service representatives, not some magical savior that will make everything alright.

I don't doubt that perhaps some people were helped out, and maybe things have changed, maybe I got the wrong rep, blah, blah, blah... Maybe the moral of the story here is don't believe everything you read.

Anyway my pops is picking up the bill because he is a good guy and he feels bad about selling me car with a leaking transmission.
