Also, sometimes not all maintenance records show up on Carfax. You should ask the dealer to send you to repair/service record to see what services were done before it was sold. The damage sucks, but it might have come from all highway driving... But I think it should be safe since it was CPO. |

I'm not necessarily saying it is solely because it was registered there. I'm saying it is because it's registered there along with the many other signs of it being a track car. The fact that it has all those rock chips and worn bolsters in only 6k miles is what's confirming my suspicion. An exec car wouldn't have that much wear on it

My guess is that they're a pretty sketchy dealer and certified the car because they knew they probably wouldn't be able to sell a '19 with only 6k miles that couldn't be certified

I agree, I called the guy who sold me the car and he said the GM will get in touch with me no later than tomorrow. Just trying to get everything together to tell the GM that if indeed it was a BMW Track school car or whatever its called. That im returning the car.

YASBBYM3, did your have any other options like active blind or active driving assistance? Does your car have the 666 style 20 inch rims? I've heard that they don't use those for M track cars given the size. |

Best of luck man, definitely keep us updated. If I had to guess they'll deny that it was a track car or try to say they didn't know. I'd tell them if they don't take it back then you're going to call BMW NA. Were there any disclosures made to you in the paperwork that the car was a corporate car?

That's the only thing I don't have an answer to. It is a mitigating factor but everything else still adds up. My two theories would be that the dealer genuinely didn't know or they knew they couldn't sell the car without certifying it. The carfax doesn't even show the car had the break in service and BMW's rule is if the car doesn't get that service done then it can't be certified. So somethings fishy here but it's not uncommon for cars to get certified that shouldn't have been certified in the first place

I'd love to know what kind of highways are capable of producing the amount of pitting shown in just over 6k miles. My car has 20+ highway miles per day in the center of rock chip city and after 46k miles I have about one percent of that amount of pitting shown in the photo. |

OP ask for the internal dealer service records for the vehicle. Every BMW dealer has access to these and it will tell you which services were performed and at what dealer location. They will not certify a car if it has not at least hit the required maintenance intervals so unless the dealer is acting in bad faith, I wouldn't worry about carfax not showing the services (it's quite common that carfax won't show the entire history) I'll PM you mine.

Yeah I think they're supposed to disclose it somewhere. I doubt carfax is enough to qualify as a disclosure because "corporate fleet vehicle" is very vague and they certified the vehicle and hid all the damage so there was no reason for you to be suspicious

67k including tax or is that the base price? What was the original msrp? For that for fking sure they better take care of this or buy it back. I'd post your experience on all relevant review sites. This is the only recourse that you can control.

Did you get the car shipped in an enclosed or open trailer? I wouldn't be surprised if this is from an open trailer.
