Hmm, what is BMW corporate communicating to you in their calls and emails? It can't be that hard to cut a check...

So it's a $350 refund regardless? That's interesting. If you're ok with spending the $800 for the upgrade when it's advertised as what you get why would they refund you? I can understand for people who ordered (like myself) with the impression they were getting one thing and then it shows up with another, but that's just odd refunding just because.
For what it's worth, my dealer refunded the whole price of the system to me, I told them I wouldn't have purchased the option had I known it was only going to be a moderate upgrade from the standard system. |

I bill at $200/hr but a 5 min call to BMW/NA for $350 credit trumps that. Plus BMW should make good on that (lazy) mistake. My $350 will go straight to new door speakers... |

Why don't you ask BMW NA?

I didn't lie about anything. It was never discussed if the refund "applied" to me... Obviously, if the BMW customer rep offered it to me, it applied. Get a grip.

Its like if there was a class action lawsuit and you went and bought something after the fact to try and participate in the lawsuit. The difference is BMW is doing it proactively and is designed for people who genuinely thought their car had 16 speakers back in January when they placed their orders for the car. If you bought your car off the lot in july with HK after reading 2addicts all year then calling BMW up saying " I thought my car had 16 speakers give me 350 dollars" then you are being dishonest by definition. Me, I want to develop a positive relationship with my dealer which will lead to thousands off cars in the future and whining about $350 dollars you arent entitled to is being pretty small. |

Nobody said you lied btw; don't be so defensive. You rationalized it and feel good about it obviously so don't let us fools bother you. I am taking delivery of my M235i next month and won't ask for the refund. Stay classy. |

Playing devil's advocate, perhaps it keeps BMW from doing something so petty themselves, like offering 2/3 of an audio upgrade for the same price as the full one. One is dishonest, the other (BMW's move) is just big business marketing tactics (which I am not supporting with my money).

Asking a simple question is NOT whining. Your post exhibits more whining than anything. And you know what's being pretty small? Generalizing, falsely accusing, and stereotyping people for receiving a $350 refund that, according to BMW NA, they ARE entitled to. Apparently, BMW NA doesn't agree with you.

i don't see what the big deal is. the way i see it, missxmelon or anyone else here has nothing to lose. $350 isn't much money, but you can still get yourself a nice dinner with that. anyone should be able to call and see if their production# passes for a refund.
didn't read everything but from what i can speculate, missxmelon called BMWNA, they ran through the production# and showed the car was built before they corrected it (not when it was bought from the dealers), issuing a refund. if missxmelon tried to milk out that $350 knowing he wouldn't pass, then that would be a different story, haha. |

just based off of MM, seems like he/she confirmed that BMWNA is checking production date, NOT when you purchased it. which is actually flawed, but works out for consumers. take advantage before they catch on.

I don't get it. OP has a 2015. Earliest production date for any 2015 is in the month of June or July, well after the mistake had been corrected. I don't think OP's experience has anything to do with the production date.

Hey guys - I placed my order on July 31st, 2014. For whatever reason, BMW NA didn't mention that there was a date cutoff or anything - they just offered me the refund. So I don't know if the date matters, at least not in all cases.
