Word from the dealer today is that BMW will replace the car, now just waiting on a delivery date.

Are they providing something for the mean time?

Yup - the 320i "Luxury" - it's like Grandads car inside - not for me.

Glad to hear all is working out good for you.

I guess NOT ALL is bad, if one knows the laws and agency's to threaten with smile.png

PS. Enjoy the car once you get a new one, i love BMW's always had one, and always enjoyed it

Ferraris catch fire, I still would like to have one.

Doing the right thing doesn´t always make you happy. Maybe it´s great to know that a Camry hardly ever will break down. But when I sit in it and drive though Bangkok 10 other cars around me will be white Toyotas. And then I say to myself: You did the right thing, your 20 yealr old 2.0 engine and 20year old 4speed auto are perfectly reliable. What a pleasure saai.gifsaai.gifsaai.gif

Maybe the 3series will cause some trouble, maybe it is perfectly fine from now on. But one thing is for sure (just like in the advertisig) It will bring some joy! thumbsup.gif

And whatever brakes, 5 or 6 years BSI will fix that.

That's what really matters to many BMW owners in Thailand.

Well why the hell not?

People work very hard to earn money to buy a nice, more luxurious car, what is the problem with that?

Daddy, that description would fit a lot of 7 series and S Class government limos.
But you are right, as well as politicians, drug dealers and pimps seem partial to BM's and Mercs, at least according to Top Gear. wink.png

Though you are right with all this, did you forget that this is TV? Hardly any corrupt Thai Government officials here. And the OP "only" got a 3series, so he can´t be that corrupt at allwink.png

But whenever I see a Ferari in BKK with a 20year old driver I´m always courious where Daddy got the money from.....maybe be hard work, maybe......

Top Gear, I love you Brits for this jewel of television. This is miles ahead of anything thumbsup.gif

Warranty is only on parts. Had the same issue with Ford. Car can't be replaced, because it's used already. BTW a faulty watercooler can damage the automatic transmission.

In BKK even a Honda Click is faster, but that´s not the point is it?

BMW has the 328i, 218HP, 2.99M. But it is detuned from 245HP, Thai tax strikes again.
