BMW called me again to tell me they had given the dealer the $350 to its misc. account to cut me a check, but the dealer "never got the money." so hey said in October they will send the dealer another $350, so my check should arrive in October. I purchased in may to quell the haters and I am still more upset about the tires than the crappy stereo.

And I'm with you - they definitely skimped on the tires.

That is what is frustrating. I placed my order in June. My car's build was completed July 30.

Hey, I heard that Corvette owners were calling in and asking for the refund, too!

Hopefully when it comes time for LCI, they will upgrade SA674 to SA688 so we can at least have the EQ . I should have bookmarked it but they are upgrading the standard system in the the 6-series (think it was 640) from option SA676 (M235i w/o HK) to option SA688.
There is still hope, I still have a hard time believe it went down from going from a 1-series to a 2-series and we went down in options on audio, 1-series had SA688 and surround sound, hopefully durnig LCI or the M2 will have it. I know I decided not to purchase but first on dealers list for the M2, if it comes with option SA688, I will probably get it, I like the sound of the musc and the car. What amazed me is the Audi A3 convertible has Bang & Olufsen as an upgrade, dont know what it sounds like the option 674 is the same option as the E46 series of cars with HK and about everyone hated it. I dont see points on trying to pinch the pennies, if they even charged extra I would go for it, some people like music, I like cars and music but want it to sound decent and I know that is totally subjective. Lets hope one day we get it |

MJP got his car a while back when some dealers were still effing up the orders by adding a steptronic automatic option instead of the sport automatic option. This had the side effect of equipping the car with all seasons. This isn't happening anymore. Not sure why anyone would think the Michelin Pilot Super Sports are skimping...

I have no complaints about the stock 18" wheels or the PSS. The 436M wheel style is a matter of subjective taste.

Subaru WRX STi uses 8.5in wheels with 245mm tires front AND back. It's a grip monster because of that. And though it's AWD, the AWD variant of out car uses laughable 225mm tires....

Only allowing true M cars to have wider wheels is contrived. That's what I meant by "skimping out."

I've been waiting a week, but I wasn't told that I'd get a call, just to expect a check in 3-4 weeks.

Are we? Would performance be improved by anything wider than a 225 on the front this model? Plenty of buyers are opting for a/s (not me), which certainly compromises summer performance.

The 2 series is well balanced. I could easily argue that adding a wider tire would not significantly improve performance, but what it would do is a) increase costs slightly - although I really don't think BMW's bean counters were the one that made the call on the tire widths, and b) increase ownership costs - more rubber means you have to pay more when you replace them. How often are you exceeding the limits of the car in its current form? |

I sent a e-mail to BMW customer service and received a e-mail confirmation and told someone would be contacting me in a day or two. A week went buy and I received a call while on the clock so couldn't answer. Right after they left a voice mail I received a e-mail saying they have been unable to contact me (really? after one call?) and to contact them if there is anything else they can help me with. WTF guys.....of course they is something else. What I cantacted you morons about in the first place. So i have called 3 different days and left voice mails but no return call. I sent another e-mail and got conformation back saying "I see you have been helped by so n so....please call back and speak with so n so to address any other issues.
Like i said are you fuck'n kidding me.....I still love my car though |
