Timeline Issues
Quote:
The tires showed premature wear on the insides, the wheel-weights were also incorrect and the vibration in the steering-wheel only stopped when new tires were put on. Who knows, maybe they were bsing. As for the timeline I didn't even think about the warranty the first time the idrive had an issue. All the Jags I have owned in my life do lots of funky things with the computer system but there is never actually a problem. The second time I realized this was going to be an ongoing issue and immediately took it into BMW. I have documentation that shows Mercedes Benz did an oil change and an inspection. BMW currently has the oil filter, but I can get that anytime I want. The car is still at BMW while I fight with them and MB about what to do. I feel as though this should have been diagnosed when I brought the car back in. I only drove twenty miles before their was a major issue and it was not rough driving. I have not owned the car long enough to mistreat it so I also feel that MB should stand behind their product. I would like your opinion on whether or not this is a problem that BMW should have diagnosed and whether or not you think MB is at all liable for the installation of an oil filter that might have caused the engine to fail. Thanks for the help so far. I will keep updating on the situation. |

Update
On Monday I will head over to Madison and get the oil filter. Hopefully I can upload some pictures of its condition and get some more information.

OP
Short of talking to an attorney, you will simply get screwed. Do you really think you will find something ANYWHERE that when you go to a BMW or MB service advisor they will say "yeah, you got us- heres $30k for a new motor!?!?!?!? They will do rope a dope with you until you exhaust your time and money. YOU getting the il filter will mean- if it goes to court- that they will say "who know WHAT happens to the oil filter we put in" You, like many many customers fall for the "CPO" and "we inspected it " lie. Pointless. You also didnt buy a warranty - that is really a poor decision for a used car with no history. The whole tire thing is BS- who cares??? You can rotate tires- somehow you want to blame MB because a bmw service snot said 'we dont so that'. Just a loser argument. Lawyer. |

To answer your post, the car came with a complete carfax that showed it had been taken care of and was well maintained. Obviously not purchasing a warranty didn't turn out to be the best decision. I just did not assume that I would be spending more than $5000 in two years on a car with less than 70,000 miles. We can talk about whether or not I Should have purchased an extended warranty all day long but that does not help my current situation. As for the comment about the tires, I was just repeating what BMW said for added clarification. |

What Ard is trying to tell you is that you needed to do your due diligence. Did you get any paper work indicating that a "once over" was completed by MB? Also, getting a clean car fax doesn't mean too much these days and an independent PPI is still important, especially on the 4.8 motors...
Good luck to you and I hope that you can resolve this with the dealers...

Isn't BMW CPO an additional 2 years or 160 000 km (North of the border)? So the OP's X would be out of warranty? Or am I just confused? Also, I may have missed it, but what actually caused the engine to seize? Was there an actual diagnosis.

The only case he really has is the oil filter. It will comedown to either it was the incorrect filter for the car or the filter is the correct one but it failed. If it was the incorrect filter, then the MB dealer is responsible. If the filter was the correct one, then he has a case against the filter manufacturer. Asking the BMW dealer to check the filter is basically them performing an oil change. An oil change was not requested. If it were me, I would concentrate on the oil filter failing. Anything else is going to be much harder to prove. I would be over to the BMW dealer today with a witness and use your phone to record the filter being handed over to you so there is no question that you did nothing to the filter and that is what the BMW dealer gave you.

I would suggest to read post 1 again, as it is all mentioned there including that the BMW dealer says caused the engine failure. |

Yes, that is what I was thinking as well...someone quoted CPO earlier and I was like, no, it is just a used X...I may have misread somewhere, if that is the case, then I apologize...
