BMW under AUC refused claim advice please
Discussion
Why does it matter if it wasn't a manufacturing defect, or if the AUC check doesn't look for this fault
It was a fault categorically present at the time of purchase so why should it be your responsibility
I don't go anywhere near main dealers to buy cars because of this 'lack of responsibility' attitude towards their customers.
I don't think they & their warranties are worth the extra money and would rather buy an older car for less money that is guaranteed to have / develop a few faults that I know I will be responsible for, but that is built into the purchase price
Wife's Evoque similar story to above, tried everything to wriggle out of paying for a blatant design fault.

Tell them they can investigate as much as they want but to give you the £550 they owe you. Remind them on Twitter and Facebook (I'd have hit that already when problems started to rear their ugly head).
IANAL but I do know Twitting companies works.
Really? There's a bog-standard response from most companies "PM us your details and we'll look into it". Then they ignore any attempts by the customer to continue the conversion on social media.IANAL but I do know Twitting companies works.

Latest is that BMW have told the selling dealer to pay up. The selling dealer asked for my bank details to make a transfer which I gave but money has not landed as yet (2 days later). I was going to wait till end of next banking day before chasing. I had hoped to close this thread once I was reimbursed but will do so when the money is in my account.
Hopefully my faith In BMW will be restored!
