I'm glad you're finally getting your car, but for the others -- if you hire a lawyer to sue for breach of contract for not delivering your car "on time" be sure to show the lawyer the clause in your contract (the actual contract, not marketing materials, not catalogues, not anything that isn't actually written in or SPECIFICALLY listed in the document both you and the dealer signed) that said your car would be delivered by a SPECIFIC date. Words like "estimated," "normally," "typically," etc. don't create a contractual obligation. If your dealer separately signed a binding document to deliver the car by a specific date that would be between you and the dealer; the dealer can't commit BMW to a specific date. Furthermore, you can't buy a car from BMW, BMW sells only to dealers. You buy the car from the dealer, not BMW. Because of that I would surprised to see a dealer give you a contractually enforceable delivery date. BMW will give the dealer an estimated delivery date but that doesn't create a contractual obligation you can enforce in court. But given that 'shit happens' (my car has been at the VPC since Oct 28th) my advice is to try to work it out as best you can. Believe me, BMW has no vested interest is 'screwing anyone over.' But stamping your feet and screaming or threatening to sue isn't likely to get the best results you seek. |

I eventually replaced it with a capped cylinder so there was no key access.

Hopefully will be picking up tomorrow! I also had a long talk with my rep from BMW Customer Relations today. They are going to offer me compensation. I told them that a car payment or two would suffice. I didn't want to be offered ///M School, but they said they may have already mailed me a voucher. So we'll see.

Gentlemen, after waiting 188 days, the wait is FINAAAALLY OVER!!!!
OMG!!! Words simply cannot express!!! As always Jon at BMW Santa Barbara was amazing! Mika is exactly the way I left her. I had to drive her all the way back down to San Diego today, and it was an epic drive. I took Highway 1 on the Malibu Coast on the way down. I tried to get a couple of shots just as the sun was setting, I did the best that I could. SO HAPPY this is all over, now my life can live my ///M Lifestyle again! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!

Congrats dave!!!!!
Finally over. I am thinking i should drive down just to apologize to your car. Haha. BMW still have not told me if my car was the one that bumped into you. I was buried at work last two days and was not able to get the call from BMW.
