If that works fine, the car can be delivered. If not, I suppose it catches fire. The only explanation for the long extra transport is that BMW doesn’t want the cars to burn at the dealerships. No one will notice a few cars burning in Malmö, cars are set on fire there every night. I am so sick of this (mostly the lack of info from BMW) I almost wish it will burn. Kind of don’t want it anymore. Built during the holidays in the middle of Civid 19. Of course it was built by summer workers. It was stupid to order one for July production.

I have also been told that my car will be tested at the port, presumably Southampton, and not at the dealership.
I’m not sure I like the sound of the test method though, how are they going to discharge the battery each time it is charged and will this stress the battery in any way.
I had imagined they would visually inspect the welds on the batteries and replace with new ones as required.
