This post is to find out what the board members think of this situation.
A few weeks ago another board member sent me a personal message to find out what I had paid for my car. He supposedly was having issues with his new purchase car. Long and behold, I read a post he wrote describing what he was going through with his car. I guess he ended up selling the car back to BMW.
This post stayed in my head for a few weeks, and then this weekend, I did it. I checked the papers that I had signed when buying the car. Yep, there it was. This car had gone through the performance center. I know some people might say, how did you sign a piece of paper without reading it...Well, I read it in passing and the performance center words did not click in my head( I'm new to BMW).
Now the issue that I have is that when I was asking the sales person where the car had come from she replied, "it had come from the BMW corporate office. I brought it up a few times while buying the car, and she even said it was a demo driven by BMW executives. The real issue is that I fee that I was mislead into thinking it was a demo. driven by some sales manager.
What do you guys think? Do these center brutalize these cars. I have never attended a performance center, so I have really no idea what these cars go through. The car is covered by BMW factory warranty until 2012. I paid $67000 for a 2009 M5.
I really appreciate any input you guys might have in this matter.
