This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

BMW wants to buy me out of my car and agree to not disclose that all '6' series, meaning 645i and 650 models have a problem with the computer related to entertainment, bluetooth, and that cd's will run after motor is shut off etc. Before I agree to sign to receive the buy out and a non disclosure on Monday July 24th, 2006, I wanted to let every BMW owner of the six series to know.

Here is a text of the problem:

All BMW 6 series have onboard computer problems and after 18 months they now disclose that the problem is in all the series so i cannot get replacement vehlicle.

After 18 months of problems with the entertainment system[cd's silently continue to play after engine is shut off] and telephone and bluetooth don't work properly. Also entertainment will randomly change from one to another, like cd to fm radio. Dealer at time of sale said BMW usually fixes problems with the computer in 60-90 days. Emails from me to dealer and BMW North America were not responded to without my insistance. In may 1006, auto with 8500 miles still not fixed so I wrote a 'lemon law' letter. BMW North America said their engineers would again look at the car,... they did in June 2006, and then manager of dealership advised I could not get a replacement vehicle as a remedy because all the six series have problems. They offered to buy me out of the car per lemon law or give me $9500 compensation. I agreed to a buy out and now in exchange for buying me out they informed me that BMW North America is insisting I sign a release and a clause that I will not disclose to any one the nature of the problem. I think every buyer of the six series, a $75,000 car should know. BMW northamerica wants to keep this a secret apparently.

Due to nice cars are produced by BMW, I have bout a BMW116i. It was a demonstration car at Abu Dhabi motors in UAE.

The agreement was to give me the car without any damage. I have received the car with scratches; because I was fed up of waiting to prepare the car the wipers were not working, and sides lights are not flashing properly. then they told me we cannot fix the scratches because the price is already low. where their lie have disappointed me. then they told me we will give you a spray or a bottle of the same color and you fix it. i found that better than nothing since 50 days up till now they did not give me. Why would I buy from the agent an unfixed car from the BMW dealer. Claiming that the bumper have been changed because it was scratched as if I am the one who have scratched it.

Besides the sales men who are liers and do not have the least knowledge about the new cars. besides their very bad hospitality. 8 times I have been there they have not offer me a glass of water. when the call center of BMW have called a month ago I have told them but nothing was done. Hopefully you will stop dealing with them as the Land Rover pulled the Agency from Al Otaiba Group due to their bad services.

Took my BMW 520 d se 2007 into BMW Dick Lovett Ltd Bristol for routine service. They overfilled the engine oil and I returned the car to dealership to fix the problem. After checking this, the service advisor used the corporate bull line of "oil is at optimum" and pointed out to me that as my car was a revised model it was equipped with both electronic oil level sensor display in iDrive and manual dipstick. When I checked again myself both readings corresponded as "engine oil level too high!" which can potentially damage the engine as advised in BMW handbook. Contacted the dealership again to rectify the the problem and check a new problem of possible engine bearing noise, on a car with approx. 52k on the clock. First the good news, they reduced the engine oil level, the bad news, engine timing chain permanently damaged as a result of loose timing chain tension-er and also possible damage to crankshaft. Because the car was out of the 3 year manufactures warranty, I was given a bill of approx. £3, 500.00, which I refused to pay on the grounds of me adhering to all BMW servicing requirements and the car having done less than 60k and only 4 years old. (After all this is supposed to be the "Ultimate Driving Machine!") After a while, I reluctantly agreed to pay approx. £1, 300.00 on condition the car was repaired in 3 days on advice and promise from the dealership themselves. Car repaired not in 3 days but over 2 weeks later and no apology from BMW or courtesy car given or goodwill to write off the bill. Would you believe it, they overfilled the engine oil again " ABSOLUTE COWBOYS! "
It's worth pointing out that the service advisor asked me where I purchased the car, I replied truthfully from a BMW specialist auction. The BMW Dick Lovett deputy dealer principal said the dealership and BMW UK would not cover the approx. £1, 300.00 bill because of me buying the car at auction and not from within the dealership network. What is shocking is that the deputy dealer principal admitted to me, that they also buy BMW's from auctions to sell on their forecourts! " ONE RULE FOR THEM, ANOTHER RULE FOR US! "---- AVOID THESE COWBOYS LIKE THE PLAGUE! ---- BUY A KIA WITH 7 YEARS WARRANTY! ---- BMW SHOULD STAND FOR = BELOW MINIMUM WARRANTY!

I drove down to Gwinnett Suzuki after seeing on Autotrader and Cars that they had a decent selection of BMW's. I was greeted by Carlos and after looking around a little bit I found one I was interested in. We test drove it and I loved it. We sat down and started talking about it.

Well 2 hours later after we finished all the negotiations and came down to a "hard" price. I was informed that Carlos had used the wrong VIN number and that the car we had been talking about the whole time was a different car. Whatever. The owner then told me he couldn't sell me the car for what we settled on after 2 HOURS of talking and signing papers. He offered me a higher monthly payment than what we talked about.

I thanked him for wasting my time and left. Poor customer service, drawn out buying process and the facilities aren't that great.

Can't say I would recommend this place to anyone else.

Very sad don't expect support from BMW customer relation ..so called zsar. With no power manager of customer relations when you call ..nightmare experience ..if your car breaks from day 1 brand new expect no help..you should call lawyer..because you will eventually need one...they play you like a fiddle..there is a logical reason there cars cost over 50 to compensate the majority of there defected cars..custumer relations. Has a boss when you call he says he has no boss so don't bother asking for his supervisor. But don't expect any answers from him ..I mean no answers believe me..don't make my mistake

I bought my 2008 328i in early as per a letter for the dealership to see what options I had at the end of my lease. My thought was to buy the 2008 or lease a 2011. Jose Caballos, the salesman asked me "what would it take for me to lease a new car today"? I told him if he took my 2008 328i in with no wear and tear charges, I would lease the new car. He spoke to his manager, came out, shook my hand and told me we had a deal. Three weeks later, I received a bill form BMW for $2800! The car had minor scratches. I was told by BMW that the car was now in Nevada!

BMW issued an update for PCV valves in cold weather BMW's as the valve was malfunctioning in cold temps. BMW's under warranty being routinely serviced at BMW dealerships/repair centers were supposed to have this part replaced per a technical service bulletin (TSB) sent to said centers from BMW. Nobody did this while our car was under warranty- which is a quick and inexpensive fix- and just out of our warranty date the part malfunctioned causing sever engine damage to our vehicle. Our BMW mechanic diagnosed the faulty part & agreed it should have been repaired when brought in for oil changes, etc. since our BMW was always seviced by a certified center and wehave the records to prove so. When contacting BMW Ashley, the service rep. said she had 'no technical knowledge' but couldn't pass us on to anyone who did. We were told we would be contacted in 3-5 business days & when noone contacted us & we called back we were basically told to stop calling customer service! There was nothing they could do to help us...isn't that the sole definition of 'customer service'? We have incurred $400 in towing charges to a BMW center, rental fees, & now a large repair bill which was completely avoidable had BMW acted upon the original TSB...have seen many others online w/the same problem & our BMW mechanic has seen many other cases in his venue. Am filing a class action lawsuit if others are interested in joining--now finding out this part is bordering on a recall!

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A CAR I PAID OVER €60, 000 CAN BE SO SENSITIVE TO A RELATIVELY SMALL MISTAKE . ITS LOOKS LIKE IT WILL COST ME OVER €2, 000 TO FIX. WHAT ARE VERY EXPENSIVE ELECTRONIC UNITS DOING INSIDE UNDER THE FLOOR OF THE BOOT.THIS IS CRAZY.

I hereby like to advise you that ever since I bought my car "brand new" it has been in several times for repairs and now feel that I cannot drive without having to worry if I’m going to make it to my destination and now feel that I have to warn the public about this issue before they make the same mistake, maybe going you the news papers and also maybe to car talk and all the shows that will listen to my story, because BMW don’t want to.

My reg no is 310RENFS engine removed 3 times, time car spend at dealer for repairs, about 5-6 months.

Bought my car and it had to go back for about 4 days to install the parts that I paid for and not what they thought might keep me happy, after that I had to go back to BMW for my gps wasn’t working, then a relay on the engine, the tires, the noise in the engine, and finally when the engine broke down, they were suppose to replace the engine but decided to fix it and ever since my car just keeps on leaving me stranded along the highway.

This weekend I had to go to Johannesburg for business and what happens 200km away from home the car leaves me and my family stranded along the road, with a tow truck that came to pick us up, we had to sit in the car while being towed to Welkom, and then the tow truck also broke down, I never felt so humiliated in my life. Suppose to be at the oil companies @ 14:00 had to phone and postponed the meeting. It made me look like an idiot who can’t afford to buy a descend car.

I recently was inspecting a 2002 BMW convertible for damage. While leaning in the backseat the driver seat had came back trapping me between the lock pillar on the left quarter panel and the driver side seat. I was alone and if not the help of a good Samaritan would have suffocated from the pressure being put on my chest and neck being pinned between the roof, headrest and seat. The driver seat continued putting pressure on me and I was unable to release the seat. I now have herniated and bulging disc in my neck and have been out of work for 3 1/2 months with a possible operation ahead of me.

Have there ever been any occurrences like this where people were pinned in between the seat from the memory returning without notice. Can you please investigate and get back to me.

It is extremely frustruating owing a BMW, as I cannot understand how a vehicle costing R500000 at date of purchase can have a retail value of under R310000, this is a drop of 38% in 1 year or ownership. Also why would this manufacturer choose to equip all its cars with run flat tyres. Do you know, replacing a set of BMW runflats is a costly exercise, costing in excess of R22000. It is unfair for BMW as a manufactur to overcharge its customers and then also hurt the consumer when the consumer wants to trade in the vehicle. I am of the opinion that in South Africa we should be able to buy and sell cars freely, due to the extensive travelling that we do. Granted there will be a decrease in its retail value, but not 38% worth.
