Used 2015 BMW X5 xDrive35i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A) Consumer Reviews
BMW, once good now unethical in business practices
BMW, unfortunately after supporting the brand since 1979, 10 cars, has turned in to a most unethical manufacturer. I have an X5 that at <14,000 miles showed what has been identified by Pensky BMW certified collision shop as solvent popping, 100% created by the manufacturer by not letting the solvents of the under laying paints properly cure before sealing with the clear coat. There is absolutely nothing anyone could do to create these defects under the clear coat, which is smooth, shiny and 100% intact. There are what appear as appx 100 tinny sand marks in the paint, under the clear. The issue was explained to me as being created at the paint application process, in some cases will not show up for a few years after new car inspection. The hood and top need to be sanded down and painted properly. BMW refuses to add any customer assistance, $4666 repair. Now I understand issues happen out of our control, it’s the quality of the company you do business with as to how these issues are handled, BMW is showing their colors. To have a company the status of BMW dish out such decisions is unethical and in my opinion foolish business practices. The BMW Arizona zone manager refused assistance without any contact or inspection, nice job! Now I am forced to repair on my own.
