Agreed, however, BMW finance is not BMW, so why get a decision from them on such a serious issue?

Initially I rang up customer services tellling them I wanted to reject the car. They asked me if the car was financed or not, having told them it was on a PCP I was then directed to BMW FS who I was told would deal with the matter.

Ah ok that makes sense. Not having had to face this situation, I can only sympathise with you, it is easy to make suggestions on the internet

No worries Piers, appreciate the help! It's a bit of a pain but hopefully I'll get my car replaced or my money back. Probably go for a 520i with the m sport plus pack next time round

Finally heard back about my car, the dealership have said that BMW in Germany have done an update on my car over the internet and want to drive it around for the weekend to make sure the fault is gone.
Problem is the fault comes up every two weeks in average so obviously no fault will be found. |

Keeping an eye on the progress of things here.
Dunno if you still need the info !. I didn't go through BMW Customer service as such. Though I rang them to enquire about the fault though as i was quite surprised that its something that "couldn't be fixed". 2. The BMW Sales agent that sold me the first car did all the work. i didn't even have to escalate things. The SA understood the fact that my confidence was shot with the BMW brand as it was my first BMW. He reassured me and gave me the new vehicle. |

Well, no news from dealers. I'm wondering if I should get trading standards involved as I'm not really sure who to contact.
I've been in touch with BMWUK customer services, who passed me back to Quality Control under the BMW Financial Services department. Haven't heard from QC yet, and only heard back from dealer last week saying they had tried a fix that they needed to test. Do I get in touch with the dealer principal for a replacement vehicle or customer services? |

Subscribed to this.
Never had anything like this happen as yet to me. Can you tell me, those who have experienced this problem, are you all driving 20d's? Sports Auto or Auto or Manual? I'm just trying to see if there is a common denominator here. |

Hi, well it's just me and 2tek who have experienced this fault so far.
From that sample group it's a fault in the LCI 520d's, my car is the standard 8 speed auto. No sports auto available on the LCI 520d, only gearshift paddles as an extra. |

See my thread, I've got a 48 hr old 520d auto with a buggered gearbox.
In the dealer at the moment waiting for a new gearbox to come in from Germany. Only done 70 miles, and 12 of them were on they when I got it! It may be very rare, but that isn't much of a consolation when it happens to you! |

I do hope you are right and that it's fixed however the way you are being passed about when trying to reject feels very familiar. You may want to read this and see what happened when I tried to reject a car
http://mynewmercedesbenzrattles.wordpress.com/ Whilst legally BMW FS and BMW UK are 2 different entities you will find that they are sitting in the same office and don't behave as such. And finally remember that under the sale of goods act, it is the dealer that sold you the car and it would be them that you took to court if it ever got that far (although the finance company could be held jointly liable) KEEP A DIARY of all calls, emails etc |
