Good luck Lotus! I really hope this is the fix! Reading this thread has made me nervous as I now have over 300 miles on my car but so far so good. Thanks for keeping us posted and well informed on all this too!

After four days of investigations, the service department cannot find out what cause the errors and claims that it happen because of the low battery level.... Also, they cannot find out the cause of the power window and have to order the motor from Germany to replace it.....

I totally agreed with you...... Also I don't think it needs four days for the service department and BMW Canada to agree with replacing the motor......

Get a new One
Lotus I went through this same push me pull you process when I had the dreaded GM6 transmission problem.
It took a lemon law attorney to get this resolved. The key to happiness is to document everything. Every phone call, every letter, every service, everything. Where, when, how, and who. They tried every trick in the book to blame it on me. It was my gas choice. Nope, have every receipt. It was my driving. Nope have my cert from your driving school. It was my car stereo I installed. Nope had a scope on and after I made change and nothing changed electrically, list went on and on. After slapping down a binder 1 inch thick with paperwork and affadavits of other drivers running into the same problem "that no one else had the same problem or this wwas the first time they saw this". Patience is a virtue when you are not being taken advantage of BMWNA tends to bite their nose to spite their face. solution: A new X3. Last edited by Evlengr; 06-12-2011 at 06:16 AM.. |

wow...
I guess I don't need any more convincing that buying a first year modern BMW with complex electronics / parts is surely a risky proposition. Lotus7 - not sure if you are BMWCCA member, but this would be a good story to send to Roundel.

I can’t think of a car model ever made that didn’t roll out a few with some sort of problem. There have been remarkably few serious problems reported with the F25 when compared with other first model year cars, and so far just about every reported problem has been fixed. Is it perfect? Nope, but nothing else out there is. |

Does anyone know if this "Lemon Law" also exists in Canada or it is only US specific?
If not, are there any similar laws here or its just the "Wild Wild West Law"? |

Several unlucky Canadian owners of the new Subaru Outback went through that process to get satisfaction. |

BMW was only 3rd in alphabetical order, not quality if you look at the ratings of other cars in comparison, stragely looks like Mercedes was very high in the ratings!

It's amazing how close the results are. Just a couple of problems per 100 makes a big difference in placement. |
