Is 11 miles too much for a new 2006 e90?

azzurribaggio · 04-03-2006, 07:46 PM

Dealer has a car for me, but 11 miles on it...should I worry that it's the test car everyone uses???

That's prob one test drive where the the driver could've floored the car. Still - 11 miles is relatively harmless.

NO

younghov85 · 04-03-2006, 08:12 PM

mine had 11 and no problems

cralmandi · 04-03-2006, 08:26 PM

11 miles, are you seriously worried about 11 miles? Look on the bright side 11 less miles till the break in is over.

ska///235i · 04-03-2006, 08:34 PM

there's no car that will have 0 miles on it...every car has to do a dyno' test at the factory
During ED, I went to the factory tour and saw them testing every car....they even rev the car to over 100mph

azzurribaggio · 04-03-2006, 08:40 PM

Guys you're right...I'm just being paranoid from all the pot I smoke...

How about this tire fee? what the hell is that???

goIrish · 04-03-2006, 09:02 PM

Tire Fee = more commission

A SA told me once that the car doesn't register mile 1 for the first 7 or so miles the car moves so technically.... but no, prob all that whopin mileage is from car handler movment and MAYBE 1 test drive...

Are you kidding me? When I went to pick my car up it had 2 miles on it. If you worry about a car having 11 miles on it and speculate that someone floored it , you are wrong. Driving 11 miles is only ONE ride. Getting a new car with 2 or 11 miles wouldn't make any difference to me. 11 is NOTHING.

Many many cars (mine included) have 5-15 miles when you get them..

I got charged a $5 tire fee and just about lost it in the guy's office. I had already signed a deal for the price of the car for 1, and 2 couldn't believe I was dealing with a high end car dealership and was getting nickel and dime'd for $5 measly dollars. Legit? probably. But I think the dealer should eat that fee.

Sp82 · 04-04-2006, 07:42 AM

no biggy, I had 4 on mine!

vladinecko · 04-04-2006, 08:21 AM

11 would be a lot for me. i'd be really pissed at my dealer but i'd still take the car. remember the full warranty...

$5 tire fee? What's this fee for?

One test drive is not unreasonable to assume that someone floored it. Many people test drive to test the limits of the car. I have floored every single test car I have driven.

I wouldn't worry about one test drive - in that sense I agree... but I wouldn't go under the assumption that just one test drive didn't stretch the car past the break-in limits.

Tire fee -- is an environmental fee the STATE charges on EVERY NEW CAR SOLD.

In Florida it is 5.00 dollars
