OP stated that BMW couldn`t identified the reason they never had told him that it is not their fault.
Think you car is broken under warranty you take it to dealer, they tell you that they can`t identify the problem and they refuse to repair under warranty. What would you say? If they are refusing to pay under warranty they need to give some reason. In this case Bmw at least owes an answer to the OP. With this logic BMW could simply avoid all the warranty claims, they can say they couldn`t find a proof showing that it is manufacturer defect.

Let's say you take in a car to a dealership, and the engine belt is loose, or a part is worn out or broken, or your transmission snapped. That's an identifiable problem with a covered part, and they'll repair it under warranty. But if you take it in, and they find say you poured chocolate syrup in the oil receptacle causing it to fail. This will NOT be covered by warranty. If you take a car in claiming there is a problem, but that problem cannot be isolated or replicated, what does the dealership do? Turn you away. In this case neither insurance company nor BMW could find any evidence suggesting it was a mechanical failure (IE sth covered by warranty) and not say, negligence, improper repair, or act of nature. Therefore, BMW owes OP nothing. |

Hey, Santa is real.
And there needs to be some sort of rudementary intelligence test that prospective forum members must pass before they can post. There's a whole lot of stupid in this thread. Either all of these folks are twelve, or they've never lived a single day on their own to learn how the world (and business) works. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - this forum is damn entertaining. Crappy analogies. Horrible math. Warped logic. So much win! |

In OP`s story BMW says they don`t know the reason for the problem. If you got your car towed into the dealer and BMW says you that they don`t know what caused the problem so they won`t repair it. What would you do? Wouldn`t you ask for the reason?

In this case, the whole front of the car's gone. Now, at most, BMW would be required to replace your car with a similar make/model/year/mileage (think about it, if your engine breaks, they'll at most replace that, not give you a new car). But insurance already stepped in and paid for a comparable car. OP is dissatisfied and wants upgrade. That's unreasonable. |

I wonder what the OP's thoughts are at this point? He has been pretty quiet in his thread. I would be interested if he still feels strongly that he was wronged or if his opinion shifted after reading the comments in this thread.

OP came expecting us all to sympathize with him and say how stupid BMW was and how right he is. Once he realized that's not the case he disappeared, probably to post the same rant on other boards to try to get sympathy.

Why are some people on this board so hostile to the OP?
Let's just say, the OP concluded that he may have been wrong. I am not saying he changed his view. But, let us say he was enlightened. Why do some on this board feel the need to rip the OP a new one? Why is it so unreasonable to fathom that some of our discussion here opened his eyes? If true, then why are some making disparaging remarks about the OP? This is tantamount to bullying. |

Perhaps. But, how can you learn and grow from others when they are downright nasty. Is this a place to share ideas, or is it a one way street where anyone that doesn't have the knowledge they are seeking is belittled, harangued, and made to feel inferior. |

We're talking about an adult here. He made the choice to buy the car. Plus he can make a decision to bail and save himself. In my 23 years as a state trooper, I have yet to see anyone die from an engine fire. Those 20 kids didn't chose to be killed by some maniac. He's going to be home for Christmas. Those kids aren't. Get your priorities straight. You can't begin to compare this to the mess some 20 year old asswipe did.

Just saying... Had an Audi A6 3.2 that went through two motors before 45k and they gave 40k off sticker on a A8L brand new...
To the OP: they won't pay you for depreciation, time and anguish yes but the car was 40k miles old you won't get a full brand new call

The OP has gone silent so we may never know, but in this case if the first offer (a discount off of a new car) was unacceptable, then BMW should have offered alternatives, such as a lesser amount of cash towards a used or CPO equivalent model. This would have paid for his deductible, offset some of his inevitable premium increase in the coming years, and ensured he could get into an equivalent model without an out-of-pocket expense. |
