Even though it's not a sophisticated engine problem, BMW will cooperate.

In fact, since you're not dealing with a sophisticated issue (at least on the outside) it really comes down to numbers.

Even if they fix it, the next time you have any kind of problem with anything, you're going to go ape shit.

BMW understands this.

I would start by letting them know you want out. Then, be reasonable, no threats.

Just drive the loaner and don't even ask about the status of your repair.

Once you get past 30 days, it's game over. By your not complaining, inquiring, or even checking on the status, you will be giving the dealer enough rope to hang themselves.

So, sit tight. Plant the seed by telling them you want out. And, then play the game.

Sooner or later BMW will make you the offer.

Good luck. Please keep us posted. Although, if they do buy it back, you will sign a contract that says you can't tell us.

thanks. i'm hoping to keep this civil. between me and my family, this is our 10th bmw, and I'm happy to stay with the brand, just not this car.
