James Arthur - Safe Inside
User M3Post b-Thumper set up a wireless weekend entitled My Euro Delivery Disaster B-Thumper said he's led a last generation M3 for eight years, and for the past four years he has obsessed by a car a current -generation M3 Atlantis blue with blue stitching and departed individual trim Piano he finally made his order and paid for delivery to Europe, where he had to pick up his car at the BMW Museum and then take it for a ride around the legendary Nurburgring.
The only problem was when he arrived at the museum, he said he found his car was Atlantic Blue, not Atlantis blue.
Some options like swapping within the existing car have been proposed, but a bit like painting the car, it will never be 100 authentic and I can not imagine this will lead to a world of squeaks and rattles It is no exaggeration to that the individual program is the reason I'm going to buy an M3 and to have the missing interior is unacceptable.
Ultimately, b-Thumper said he was not particularly bitter or angry, just determined to see his car built to his exact specifications for the price he originally paid in full before seeing the car as standard for European deliveries of BMW.
While I enjoyed my time in Germany, he ended up being thousands of dollars spent on the wrong holiday Nobody has offered to pay me my ticket or offer financial compensation for inconvenience Unless you consider two free tickets to the BMW museum financial compensation.
In any event, it is not resolved at the time of this announcement and I point my story as a cautionary tale and as a public advocacy BMW to make this right, they try to do things, but I have serious doubts here we are, over 9 days later and I was left with a hope and a prayer that they can build my car as desired.
It goes without saying that the outcome of my situation will greatly influence my desire to own future BMW vehicles.
The initial responses of the forum were favorable, and even b-thumper concession Steve Thomas BMW CA chorus.
I can assure you we are doing everything we can to make this right, we have BMW said that we want the car delivered in the specification as it was ordered and now we are waiting to hear from levels above BMW We are dedicated in the struggle for what is right, but we are BMW thank you.
If as it appears in this situation that the die was cast and there is no turning human error caused this, and there is no other way to build this car in factory, it seems that the window closed so now to understand the plan b is zero, but that's life.
Truth2k05 also tried to put things in a tough prospect.
The fact that you are in Europe far exceeds the color of the car and another colored thread on sewing Put the most beautiful painting and leather interior on a Prius and see if it improves your driving experience is an M3.
Op has solutions, get a refund, get another car, get over it.
To read everyone that this is a reminder to request a sample of paint, when you apply for an individual color.
Personally, I sympathize with b-Thumper Think spent four years designing and preparing your absolute dream car B-Thumper must have gone through hours a day photoshopping how the interior two-tone blue would look or exactly contemplate what color complemented subtle body extensions of M3.
Certainly there were countless nights where he stayed late to work, scoring overtime to be sure he could afford his dream M3 Atlantis Blue Think about all the birthday parties he missed, or how of times he never hung with friends on those long nights in the office.
He would have missed a barbecue all his friends sent back in spring 2011 there was a pretty brunette with this barbecue She was pleasant and understanding, and was the restoration of a vintage BMW 3 0CS his father gave him to she needed help on her b-Thumper project could have given him that help, she could have been a b-Thumper it could have been that one.
So I am absolutely and completely sense for b-Thumper I do it is just important that we learn a lesson from his forum post Whatever the reason you are, or how wronged you were, if you complain a part of the experience owning a luxury car on the Internet forum users will pour out of wood to criticize you is absolutely no way you can describe the keys to a new car to take a tour Nurburgring and say i want to cry without people thinking you're spoiled.
It's just the way of the Internet, and we must all remember that.
