It’s staying.

So we have a definitive YES to the question presented by the thread title.

It was going to be gone the same week at $9500 before :tits: decided it should replace/supplement her dads 2001 Tacoma ext cab. As it would be a far newer and “safer” vehicle.

Now the :taco: seems to have hit a wall. I got about 8 46-47 “offers” which remain to be seen/tested in person. Not one person wanted to take a look at it in person before starting to negotiate.

I’m 3k lower than the next closest dealer asking price … so I’m wondering what to do next.

Go on.
My buddy and I picked a 100+ 5 star reviewed place on Yelp to do our cars. Both first cars turned out fine…

My IX had a razer blade under the front seat that was left by the installer … bubbles all over the two windows … and on my way home from install the error message started about self driving features being “permanently disabled”

I’m debating leaving a scathing 1 star review which they deserve but I also want to give them a chance to “fix” it before throwing my “lifetime warranty” out the window


Very hard to take pics of tint issues btw … here is an example

So got a call from the dealer … because the car is so new they had to start a case with some sort of bmw corp bullshit … waiting on email back…

No loaner btw … so far … almost worse than tesla as far as service :impressive:

They don’t know what’s wrong with it .. contacted bmw for tech support and waiting to hear back.

That crossed my mind, too. Maybe they covered or somehow messed up a sensor :iono:

Did you just have the front side windows done or was it something else? Can’t imagine a tint job messing up self driving stuff unless they covered or tinted a camera.

Update (or lack thereof)
… now …
the car has been in “service” for 5 days … or 3 business days.

They sent a message today saying they will have an update tomorrow.

No update on the car … I’m just rolling in the loaner with a :aintcare: attitude.

Going to put another 120miles tomorrow going to work and visiting my friend. Completely :fullretard: and possibly worse than tesla service because these guys are inept at diagnosing the car.

Nothing new really. Bmw dealers are really bad in general
