G87/RSA/Dealer warranty and parts
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Serv manager texted me saying I have 25 min to make a decision or they are putting my car back together as is. Spoke to BMW CS last night, they said wait for the case manager to get back to you. I asked them if I can pull the car and have the work done somehwere else. They said it was escalated so wait to hear from them.Dealer #2 texted me this morning at 7:35a,m. "BMW officially denied the claim, we are putting it back together." Total BS because I called and spoke to serv manager and he said you are getting a bargain to replace the whole assemble. I said I know but give me 24 hours to decide. He said its because they want the loaner back. So text message was a lie. BMW CS said do not let the dealer push you around and wait to hear from the case manager. I need to know what people have experienced and and ideas would help. And I will be disclosing the dealers after I get my car back. Still no word from CS. Feel like the dealer could charge we whatever they want and I cant shop repair prices.

Reads like you need to find another dealer.
Hard to understand how one can damage a brake actuator, cause it to freeze/lock up. Did the brake system run low (or out of) fluid? If you smell clutch that suggests the clutch was overheated at some point. If you didn't do that it happened getting the car towed or someone went joyriding. (There is the slight possibility there is a hardware problem with the clutch that could cause it to slip/get hot/smell. But that would require a tech to diagnose/confirm this. Too often any suspected clutch problem is just blamed on the driver.) If the clutch engages smoothly and doesn't slip and shifting is smooth while you can still (?) smell the clutch smell alone is not sufficient -- IMHO -- to justify replacing the clutch. (I had my 2006 GTO hot rodded by a dealer tech and afterward, when I went to collect the car, the clutch stunk to high heaven. But the clutch was fine although I traded the car in some few years later with almost 50K miles and while the clutch was still fine when I traded the car in I don't know if the clutch life was affected.) |
