Bmw testing pre-owned emissions

Pauloxxi · 02-28-2021, 10:10 AM

Yesterday I received these papers from BMW.
I think to vent my frustration, instead giving them my 2017, I would be glad to send them my 2014 only to replace time bomb time chain plastic rails
They say they will put my car in a dyno but don't say what regimen they would run.
Will you guys give them your car for a full week as exchanging for $500?

Silverlining_m2 · 02-28-2021, 10:28 AM

Nope.

tardboi · 02-28-2021, 12:40 PM

Free $500 w/ a loaner for the duration? Hell yeah.

chrism9852 · 02-28-2021, 07:07 PM

No real reason not to.

"You used my car for testing" is a great answer to any issue that may come up in the future. Additionally, I doubt they will do anything you wouldn't do

Not sure if this excuse would fly😁

I would do it. $500 and loaner. Take the loaner for a long ass trip.

Automatic car wash? No.
Two bucket method? Yes.

Why not.

I don't feel OK leaving my car with people that I haven't heard about for a week in unknown conditions and purposes.
Who knows what yahoo would be driving them around?
How it will be kept in their facility?
What if you see scratches or door dings that weren't there before? And how to prove they caused?
How about the comment they may replace components?
How many miles the dyno work will add to the vehicle?
It can be just me, most likely no problem, but I'm not comfortable. When I take to the dealer, at least I know some people there and we have some history.
In my view BMW should try work with their dealers and get some of the CPOs they have around the area.

extra $500 in your pocket and you get to drive an unlimited mileage loaner car for a week....
