BMW NA buillsh1t How to proceed?

akashyap · 09-20-2013, 01:51 PM

So as some of you may know I just bought an X5M. I have the service history for the car and it says Valve for crankcase venting permanent malfunction and this is now a problem once again. Or according to BMWNA and the dealer the first time. They then tell me that the crank case vent valve wasnt replaced and only the crossover hose for the crank case vent valve was replaced. WTF.............................

They now want $2500 to replace the crank case vent valves that were already permently malfunctioned before but never fixed. Any advice on how to proceed? Any contacts at BMWNA that you guys can share. Wouldnt have bought this car if I had known this sh1t was gonna happen.

Is it still under warranty? BMW of Austin is probably one of the fairest dealership I've had the pleasure of dealing with.

seems like BMW is going to the pits in customer care and products. If have read all the
complaints on the diesel, would have gone with Range Rover Sport.

Good bet gonna have to sue them. There repair prices are crazy

BMW of Austin is trying to fight it for me with BMW NA. Its not their fault at all. I dont want to make it seem like that I would place the blame fully with Park Avenue BMW in NJ
