The sales person told me that this vehicle has been flagged by BMW and could not be CPO'd (policy regarding corporate cars). I just checked their website and it looks like someone already purchased it.... lucky person lol |

M School Performance Center / Driving Event cars are super easy to spot. Don't get screwed people. Be smart.

"(NOTE: I did not know the vehicle as driven at a performance center until I was 99% complete with signing the paperwork and slid this disclosure in on me. (somewhat shady operations) By that point I was committed and trusted that Warranty would cover me if I had any issues)."
This would have had me "lawyer up". Sorry to hear, I am not sure if this is your first M car but it is a great car but not worth it at this point with all this effort. You pay to drive a car not use its warranty. |

I think there are a lot of unreasonable expectations that a BMW can be continuously abused on the track then everything should be honky dory after that. Yes, the M cars perform great on the track; it's not free from wear and tear though. |

Not to say his driveshaft isn't the issue.. I just think the material is irrelevant. |

This has nothing to do with material. My situation was different.

damn dude... that stinks. I hope you get this resolved somehow. (I live pretty close to Hendrick.. aside from them upping a quote on me, they're pretty cool)
I feel like there was a thread here I saw within the last couple of months about avoiding cars from one of the M schools and a few posters saying they'd trust buying those cars without issue |

This situation stinks in many levels. I am not a lawyer and live in a different state, but I'd have to imagine that they way the vehicle was presented and how the information was revealed (very late in the sale), just reeks of bad faith on the part of the dealer.
Unless there is a very specific document that was signed explaining how warranty coverage was different form a regular car, I would imagine there would be enough of an argument there that BMWNA and the dealer would be better served helping to resolve the matter. |

Well I hope they checked the tires and the wheels. I had a situation on one of my cars where the tires would go out of balance even after being road forced. We finally narrowed it down to this after multiple rebalancing of the tires.

My thought is driveshaft as well, especially since they replaced the transmission and the differential. I made that suggestion and the Local dealership said they were not going to put any more time and money into repairing this vehicle. Then a few days later BMWNA officially stated that this is now considered normal.
BMW North America responded to my Better Business Bureau complaint stating that a regional engineer had inspected my vehicle and found there to be no mechanical issues. This is a false statement because I was supposed to meet a regional engineer to inspect my vehicle on multiple occasions and they did not show up. https://bluecomplaints.bbb.org/Manager.aspx?m=24097400 |

Sorry to hear about this. 1. Take your car to a performance shop nearby , pay someone directly to look at it. Check for exhaust pipes touching the body, wheel and tire balancing and also look for anything abnormal on visual inspection. 2. What does the disclosure for performance delivery said? They're notorious to remove further liability or exempt to lemon law when doing this deal. 3. if nothing works out in favor, call bmw and ask for compensation for emotional distress, inconvenience and 2 months of no car. 4. Trade in your car at a dealer ASAP(using that inconvenience compensation-5-10k is normal) and blast that cars VIN so nobody gets stuck with it. See what works in your favor. Good luck |

Yes, I noticed my average MPG over the 5200 miles was 9 MPG and today after 10,000 miles my average is over 20 MPG. That tells me it was driven at full throttle almost 100% of the time.
I would have a hard time getting my average MPH down to 9 MPH. |

I can't believe they aren't going to fix it. Customer service IS important. People are willing to overlook flaws if they are taken care of right. See Apple for example.

I doubt this was looked at as a potential cause, but if it can be done, the REAR Supplemental Shock Abdorbers (bump stops) may be of interest in this particular case if it is the specific car I know. |

OP, sorry you're having this nightmarish experience, from the sneaky notice of the car's prior status to the ongoing issues.
If it were me, I'd dump/trade the car at the first possible chance. Sure, that may result in a financial loss but your time and satisfaction are worth money as well. And with this experience, I'd probably leave both this dealer and BMW far behind. Otherwise, I'd consult an attorney with expertise in these situations to determine what, if any, recourse you might have relative to your state laws. I wish you luck and hope it ultimately gets resolved to your satisfaction. |
