I've taken my car to Beverly Hills for a repair (fuel tank replacement) because they're down the street from me. The techs there are idiots and forgot to bolt down a few things, so the undercarriage was rattling like crazy. Went to New Century a couple of weeks later and they fixed the problem.
As for the OP's post, unfortunately once your friend left the dealership he was on his own with whatever came ahead (the blow out in this case). Sure he can raise a stink about it, but it's his word against's the dealership's reports that they documented & submitted to BMWNA, regardless of how accurate the testing or findings were. Your friend's best bet is to get an attorney and make a huge stink about this situation all over the internet. Make sure that BMWNA is made into the bad guy here, make sure the threads spread like wildfire on all BMW forums, just so you can get the attention and response that you're looking for. Otherwise, chaulk it up and move on and learn from this experience. |

This just sucks, report to State Bureau of Auto Repair as well, that affects their licensing if too many complaints. Too bad I've heard this before on the Tire/Wheel warranty that's why I passed and figure if problems bye bye RFT's for the cash they ask for.

BMW checked the rim/tire and it didn't show any signs of leakage so my only assumption is that it he over inflated his tires! It most likely was a faulty sensor that they said would be checked the following Monday, did he check the tire pressure again before he put more air into it??
Sounds like BMW followed procedure though it's unfortunate that he had a major blowout. Glad he's OK and nothing serious happened. I opted out of the tire insurance because after reading the terms/conditions it was apparant that this kind of shyte would happen. Hope it all works out for him. Given the faulty sensor I think BMW should step up to the plate and fix his car for him, the fact that he drives an M is irrelevant. |

Seriously? I find it funny that BMW checked his tire and it was NOT leaking! They then said they would get him in ASAP to check the TPMS which was probably faulty. Why would they give him a loaner? Why didn't he use that thing called a tire gauge to ensure that his tire pressure was in fact low? Can you explain what a Japanese dealer or American dealer would have done different to rectify this situation? |

Couple of weeks ago I called BMW to schedule a service because convertible was not functioning properly. They did not offer a loaner. When I asked for it they told me I had to wait 2-3 weeks to get a loaner. Then after waiting almost 3 weeks I got a shitty 328 which drove worst than my Ford Explorer. |

update: His insurance deductible is cheap and wont' raise his rates so he went ahead with insurance repair.
On another note we are both pissed and can't believe how BMw handled this situation. I realize that what some of you are saying about once he was driving it was his problem, not BH BMW, but you have to realize that he came into the stealership with actual low tire pressure ( around 20-25) after he filled it up 30 minutes prior. But they did acknowledge that the tire pressure was low when he came in. IT WAS OBVIOUS THERE WAS A LEAK. The bad part is the decision they left him with and the fact the they were ok with letting him drive off the lot with a tire obviously leaking air. They said we can't give you a rental, and he lives 2+ hours away so they simply knew he couldn't leave it there. The whole situation is shitty, but it looks like they are going to get away with this one. |
