Say I was interested in trading my current M3 sedan for this one...

If you are experience the same ticking noise between 1K and 2K, BMW is trying to figure out what that is as I am writting this. My car is at the dealership also. Has a BMW of NA rep checked your car out?

IWearScrubs · 09-20-2008, 10:00 AM

It may happen soon, it has only been there a few days so far. it has been in multiple times for the other issues though. I think the stealership is finally taking it seriously.

edit for clarity, It has only been a few days since I gave up driving it and left it there to be fixed.

IWearScrubs · 09-20-2008, 10:50 AM

Oh wow, this keeps getting better and better...

will update in a few...

edit: so, I got a call from the dealer today from a very confused used car salesman who wondered why I was calling him... Apparently the person I was talking to yesterday gave me the wrong name and number, and the wrong info about which cars were available, and wrong info about what they were being sold for...

I talked to the person I was dealing with before all this happened and we straightened out all the info, but unless they come back with a smoking good financial deal to do this trade, I think I am just going to wait and lemon law it...

IWearScrubs · 09-20-2008, 10:58 AM

So now, what is invoice on this car? Does anyone know or have an idea?

They claim there is 7% in the cars. I have the same car bought at Sears and fortunatly have not a single problem with 7,000 miles.

you know, I looked at your car when it was at Sears, just came off the truck the day before. I wish I had bought it...

but the salesman really turned me off over there, so I went to the other place...

Sears sells BMWs?

IWearScrubs · 09-20-2008, 08:14 PM

Ok, well another update. According to the voicemail message I got a bit ago, the stalling problem was caused by bad gas.

So, educate me as to how this can happen?

ideliver · 09-20-2008, 10:39 PM

there is a thread here and one at m5board.com where the cars were goofed up and the gas was tested and was 20% etoh....

AJBoston · 09-21-2008, 10:27 AM

Yup... one of those,erm, "bad gas" guys was me, right after I got the car in May. Haven't had an issue since in 7K miles. So hopefully that's all you're looking at and you can get right back out there.

But if you have to trade in, that Alpine/Fox combo is sweet. I saw that exact build (except with CF trim) when I was shopping for mine.

What were the symptoms of the "bad gas?"

You are selling your car? Why?

If I get my money back on mine, and yours is still available, I will be very tempted to buy yours.

I should have never sold my 08 535i. Soooo comfortable....love the M, don't get me wrong, but it is not the car for me and my weekly travel schedule. I had back surgery about two years ago and apparently just cant let go of my mischievous childhood love for fast cars.

Hans Delbruck · 09-21-2008, 08:55 PM

Enough issues to think "lemon" yet you want another one?
