So after suffering from "postpartum depression" for 51 days; I finally got that much anticipated call from my SA informing me that my baby was back from her HPP fuel pump transplant. :rocks: She was gone so long i forgot what she looked like, now i'm falling in love all over again. Now its time to ger her some new shoes.

[murellus]

jeez 50 days, quite a wait. what did they give you as a loaner?

[treytreyfeva]

Initially they wanted to put me in a rental, but after a call to BMWNA and a few emails they put me in a 06' 330 for the entire duration

[keithIOW]

what compensation did they give you?

They covered my loan payments whilst my E93 was being fixed, but I'm now trying for further compensation to cover the inconvinience and stress caused.

Being fixed?
HPFP go out?
On European fuel?

If true, I guess that would mean the theory of American gas additives causing the problem is unfounded.

Why shouldn't he get compensation he purchased a 335 not an 06 330.
I am not saying give him some kind of big cash settlement, but I think BMW should do something else for people who had their cars in for service so long, either some kind of dealership credit, free extended warranty, etc....

His compensation is BMW taking over his loan payments while he was without his car. Seems more than fair to me.

How is that compensation?

So you are saying that if you hired a contractor to work on your brand new house and he accidentally burned it down, but then he said he would make your mortgage payments while your new house was being built again and would give you free rent in a rental house (one that is older and has been lived in by another person) while you dont have your new house, then you would feel compensated?

That's comical, if everybody was like you, there would be no lawsuits.

And you my friend, are an uniformed idiot.

I cant remember mentioning legal action at any point in my posting.

If you have not suffed this problem, then how can you comment as to whether it's inconvinient and stressful or not. My $80,000 car broke after 650 miles and was off the road for over a month. I was never given any firm timescales for the car to be fixed, I was only ever told that it would be months rather than weeks!!!

I suggest you try handing your brand new car over for an undefined period before criticising other people.

Have a nice day!

Dude, life is too short for a car to cause you so much stress. WOW. I mean its a car, you will own it a few years and get a new one. You must have an amazing life, if losing your car for a few months is the most stressful thing in your life.

yes I did...I didn't even really read it...I just saw it on a website and thought it would be funny. I hope noone took offense to it.

[murellus]

80k car breaking down after 850 mi and taking months for repairs. i think this falls under lemon category and im not too huge on lemoning cars.

[treytreyfeva]

BMWNA is going to reimburse me for my car and insurance payment for the 51 days, in addition they will be providing me some free accessories (iPod adapter, blacklines and aluminum pedals) :rocks:

I don't agree, and probably the way the lease is written (it's favorable for the lessor in every way), it doesn't either.

If I were in the same position, believe me, I would not be pleased. But to say someone should give me a car to drive, that's fair because of the general policy about loaners while being serviced. Making payments on the owner's behalf, that's pretty good, must be a courtesy. To put 50 days of mileage on someone else's 330, to keep them off the 335 (which is like 80 cents per mile), and then to want more, it's just bizarre. Didn't we learn about unjust enrichment in high school?

These sort of individuals don't make me mad, because I run into them in the course of work. But I definitely avoid them as acquaintances and friends. My .02.

Aren't you the same guy who said that when you get more credit, your ratio of debt to how much credit you have goes down, which is good? I thought I added you to my ignore list with that other guy and Robert Plant. The three of you should be on that list by default whenever anyone joins the forum.
