I don't know what to say... I'm paranoid now. I don't know if I can trust any dealer service after what just happened.

I'm probably going indie to get some peace of mind.

Anyway...Why Pfaff?

I had a problem with my M exhaust from another dealer and went to PFaff and the foreman put it up on hoist and looked at it and helped me out even though though warranty doesn't cover the installation of the exhaust from another dealership. Also purchased a car from them recently and it was a good experience so far. Have had a few services there and was good service. No guarantees but I find them better than most.
If you want a good indie I can recommend Mark at Independent Tuning.

Thanks, please let me know. BMW Toronto said the car would be ready sometime today. I can probably have it towed out to that shop cause I'm not driving it unless it gets double-checked.

Yup, got my suspension recalibrated, but it's still messed up, and they put 222km on my car. I guess they couldn't help themselves. Im pretty much done with BMW's, as long as I'm in Canada.

Well they have to drive to try to figure out what is wrong with it. Have you asked to go out on the drive with the foreman to explain it to him and ask if he knows what you are talking about and have him try to figure it out and ask if he can't if he can call in BMW Canada?

He didn't. He bought a dealer demo that had $20k worth in options, yet he keeps comparing the total price to the base msrp.

Says the BMW employee, at least you sound like one coming to my thread where nobody has any idea what you're talking about.

Keep on defending these fuking criminals.

I have no idea what I'm talking about? I'm not defending them at all. You have posted your sales agreement and seem to think they completely screwed you. Take a look at it again...you bought a car that basically has every possible option on it along with a bunch of M Performance parts and think you should only pay the base MSRP for it?? I get that you've had some issues with it since delivery but warranty can take care of that...just bring it to a different dealership.

@440xiGCMSport2, which Pfaff Mississauga or Markham?

I was considering the M- Performance exhaust for the G20, not feeling particularly confident of dealer-installed M-Performance accessories including the exhaust. I've taken a look around some dealerships with the 'M-Performance' aesthetic parts installed on the G20 on the show room floor, not too pleased with fitment and alignment..

I scheduled an appointment to see the foreman but the SA calls the day of saying everything was double checked and to spec and just brushed it off the meeting.

I went to the Mississauga Pfaff, is that the one you were telling me to go to?

Nope. I was talking about the one in Markham.
I think at this point you have to hit BMW Canada up. Email BMW Germany etc. It seems like you have a problem that can't be fixed with just a change out of suspension parts.

wow i jsut found this thread... OP i hope you are still in good spirit!

I agree with others that you should get a 2nd and 3rd opinion from other dealerships about the issue while in contact with corporate office. Venting on Bimmerpost is one thing, but if nothing works try taking it to mainstream media like CBC Marketplace, you'd be surprised how quickly businesses respond to that

i do wonder the comment about "20k over msrp" .. as in there were 20k of factory options and accessories like m perf parts installed on the car? Or actual bogus stuff like mud guards and rust proof? At end of the day this is just a car, and your issues should and will be covered by warranty, it's unfortunate this has dragged out this long. As for price paid, if you realized you didn't get a good deal, there's always the next car.... stay strong!

Wow you are in a bmw rich area. The closest dealer is 15 miles away the next it 25. When under warranty it was always a pain in the ass to take it in.

I've decided to ride it out and live my life. I'll deal with them when they try to charge me for the burnt carpet when I return this lease. ​

How's the car doing? Same shit. Brakes, and suspension is still riding high and making noise, and now the engine light is constantly is on. Probably because they wouldn't change my oil when service was due.
