You don't need a lawyer. If your car has been in for or more times and/or a total of 30 days, just call BMW customer service. They will direct you to the buyback department. They are good to work with and very accommodating and will work with you towards a resolution. The less you have to deal with a lawyer, the better imo. I did a buyback earlier this year. I had my m40i for over 2 years and 19,000 miles. I ended up getting all but two thousand back from my original purchase.

What's the issue

[chpnsus]

Thanks. The Nancy comment made me laugh real hard. BMW is offering a trade assist. Not buy back. The car keeps stalling randomly on the highway and then throwing electrical faults. They've replaced many parts with no luck. Not feeling good about a car with less than 4K miles doing this with kids onboard.

A trade assist is usually offered with cars that are almost new with few miles. Why would you need a lawyer if they are in essence giving you a new car for probably what you paid initially.

Because 'Merica!

Trade assist means using current value of car plus a little help from BMW. Looked into it. Not willing to take a hit when it's faulty from the start.

Really, I know someone who had a trade assist with bmw and ended up paying net 0 for a new car. As I mentioned, my car was over 2 years old and 19,000 miles and bmw paid me all but 2k back. If you are losing money on your assist, you do need to contact a lawyer. Did you speak with Courtney at bmw by the way?

Hello, chpnsus. If you are still looking for a lawyer specialized in lemon deals, I can recommend a professional lawyer firm that helped me a lot with my problems.

I used the lemon law attorneys for my lemon claim.

How did you get them to offer you a Trade Assist?

I've been practically begging them to help with a Trade Assist, instead of a BuyBack with my '21 xDrive30e.
I got it 8/10/21, and literally 13 days later it had it's first of three tows into the dealership.
The dealer has had it more than I have, I've been stuck without a loaner (or even a damn Enterprise) for two seperate week long spans, the car had an emissions light come on once with me, and then AGAIN WHILE AT the dealership. Whom may I add, didn't even bother telling me until I had reached out to BMWNA to find out what the deal was with my BuyBack, which I had started weeks prior- and the dealership had had my car for weeks at that point.

They've agreed to a BuyBack, BUT that's put me in a terrible position.
Naturally when I got the POS back in August, I had no intentions of buying another car months later, so I didn't financially plan to need another down payment- which mind you, isn't not even a reasonable down payment. Even in the few months since I got my car, the cost of cars has continued to skyrocket, so I'm suddenly finding myself needing $20-30K for a down payment for the 45e if I want to keep my lease below $800 a month. Oh, and that's with the laughable 50% residual, and the $10-15K Adjusted Market Price.
This is all if I can even FIND a car. I found one, had the guy send me a breakdown of the price, and quite literally within the same minute he sent me a text saying it's already been sold. It wasn't even at the port yet.

BMWNA is only agreeing to the BuyBack. Saying all they're required to do is "make me whole on my purchase". I've begged them to help on a trade in, or at least work with me time wise.
They'e been pushing for me to sign the worksheet, otherwise they'' close out the claim.
I can't and won't sign the worksheet until I know I have another car in my physical possession. I'm not risking getting stranded without a car, which is becoming an increasing possibility.

All the meanwhile every issue I've had with my car that's caused me to be in this position in the first place, has continued to get worse and more have popped up.

If you can get a Trade Assist. TAKE IT.

DON'T do a BuyBack. BMWNA is a joke, I would expect something like this from Ford perhaps, but I would have thought BMW had more pride in their brand and would want to keep customers loyal to their brand.

Pretty much any decent plaintiff's firm should be able to handle a claim, or at least refer you out to someone with experience. There aren't *that many* lemon claims in most places, so not many firms will have a lot of expertise.

Be prepared - you're going to be paying out of pocket for their time, and it's likely to run up a decent little bill, especially if BMW is pushing back.

I feel your pain, but moving from a ~$55K X3 to a ~$75K X5 has immutable arithmetic attached to it.

A gas powered X3 is off the table for you?

This is a shot in the dark but many local TV stations have reporters that specialize in helping consumers with issues dealing companies that are not cooperating.

Hi, Blue line PI,

I tried to reply to your private message, but it seems that you haven't allowed private messages.


I am sorry that you are having these troubles with your car.

I fortunately have not had much issues with my car so far. I have noticed a reduction in battery range to 10-12 miles as well, but only when the ambient temperature drops well below freezing point. On the rare warm days, I am getting milage similar to the summer time range.

I charge the car using the standard charger that came with the car, and have hooked it to a standard 110V wall outlet. It takes about 7 hours to charge from fully depleted to fully charged. When I do charge at the work place level 2 charger, it takes about 3.5 hours to do the same.

I am sure you've done all simple troubleshooting tricks, but:

I wonder if you also have cold weather at your place and that might be affecting the battery?

Also, is your car setting set to charge at the higher charging rate? There is a setting in the infotainment system to choose the rate of charging, and the lower rate is half of the other option available.

Other users have had similar issues as well, so likely the issue is with the car itself. I hope you have some satisfactory resolution of your car trouble. This has been a great car for me so far, however, I have had issues with a previous car and hope yours end soon.

Best

MS

As a good law firm, a good lawyer is now a rarity. I don't know how things are in Colombia, but in Canada, to find a good lawyer, I had to call a lot of incompetent lawyers who demanded a lot of money for their work. I found my lawyer on the website https://www.fleetwoodfamilylaw.ca. I liked his approach to the issue that I needed to solve. This lawyer described to me exactly what steps he would take and what we would achieve in this way, and I realized that I wanted to work with him.

How do you know they're incompetent?

Who was talking about Colombia?
