When you're buying a car, they treat you like kings. When they take your money, they treat you like shit. Same goes with any other business.
There was a used Xdrive Gran Coupe that had only 900km and the owner had lost $20K cdn on it. |

I own a POS 2013 650i GC with ongoing drivetrain malfunction and excessive engine oil burn. BMW NA does nothing and ignore me. Damian.Warchol@bmwnacr.com, my case manager, decides to ignore and avoid my calls and chose not to contact me. Damn BMW dealers I took to took my car out for joy rides and does nothing but blame the gas I filled. Anyway, I found that this V8 engine is just not compatible with 91 octane gas in California under load which my drivetrain malfunction issue can be replicated on any of these engines. This is my 7 BMWs I owned in the past 12 years, and they still treat me like dirt. I am a bit busy these days, so I don't have time to deal with them. When I have time, I will see if my attorney will be interested in some class action lawsuit on this matter. If BMW choose to do the right thing in timely manner, I would not mind overlooking problems I have with this POS.

when I picked up my GC earlier this year, and complained about the harsh ride quality and the low oil issues, you were one of the first people to encourage me to stick with it, and gave advice on how to approach those situations, so to hear you call such a highly coveted, and highly priced car a POS, makes it worse even more so. Hang in there. Don't let them get you frustrated enough to give up. Take it all the way up the Chain of Command until the do something to accommodate a customer who has been lining their pockets for 12 years. You definitely deserve and earned the right to be treated as well as a brand new customer who could be "on the fence" and not treated as the "oh, that guy again". Stay strong.

That sucks. Sorry to hear about your problems... This kinda sways me to the 640 instead of the 650. I hate getting the Low Engine Oil message. I too drove with a new quart of oil in the trunk of the M5 all the time. It needed a quart every 2-3k miles... and it would all of a sudden jump from half full to Please add +1 quart, it was unpredictable...

Glad you shouted out the people and dealerships that have been ignoring your problems. With poor customer service like that, they deserve to be black listed. Hey, if your attorney can get you some compensation under some sort of lemon law deal, ...a new car always cheers me up!! might do the same for you! Don't give up the fight.

Ai just priced out your car (assume xDrive) with the list options and it comes to nearly $111k. Thr new build requires active front seats to replace what used to be in the seating package. FYi the build tool on BMW site is still not accurate as you have deselect and result some package options to update.
BASE MSRP $91,400 Black Sapphire Metallic$0 Black Nappa Leather$0 Gray Poplar Wood trim$0 Cold Weather Package$450 Driver Assistance Plus$1,900 Executive Package$5,200 Lighting Package$1,900 M Sport Package$4,400 Active front seats$1,000 Bang & Olufsen Sound System$3,700 Destination & Handling:$925 BMW Ultimate Service™ Total MSRP as Built $110,875 |

You need to reach out to a lemon law attorney, I think it's only 3 or 4 times it has been into service for the same issue and they HAVE to buy it back and give you most of what you've paid into it. Doesn't matter what the manufacturer claims is the reason. I've done it with a Range Rover and my friend did it with a BMW 7 series. Needless to say I have both in my garage again cause they're both great cars...most of the time.
