Booked for an issue with my i4 two weeks in advance. Was called a few days before saying service is not needed even though I specified it was for a sunroof issue and inspection On the day, was told th Was called a few days before saying service is not needed even though I specified it was for a sunroof issue and inspection On the day, was told there are not enough EV certified techs and it could take up to a week, despite giving lots of notice with the booking… on the plus side they manage to squeeze it in and it was “done” within 2 days. “Done” because the issue was gone on the day I got the car back, but came back the day after. Seemed like a quick fix to get me out of the door. More
I wanted to have my car serviced but, after waiting for nearly an hour beyond my service appointment time, the dealer was unable to properly book my car in and I had to leave without my car being serviced nearly an hour beyond my service appointment time, the dealer was unable to properly book my car in and I had to leave without my car being serviced at all. My service advisor was late to work, so I had to wait til he arrived. Then, he was unable to enter my car’s service into their computer. Apparently, no other service personnel tried to help him. After much time had passed, I gave up waiting. The service advisor had no idea what was wrong, so I left without any service being performed. Additionally, he was unable to answer an important question I had about the service and never bothered to check with anyone else in the service department. More

my assistant made the appointment, confirming 3-4 times the duration to expect for the appointment. She was promised it would b a 1 hour "express" service. When I pulled up, I sat in my car for 10 minutes the duration to expect for the appointment. She was promised it would b a 1 hour "express" service. When I pulled up, I sat in my car for 10 minutes waiting - they approach as if I may be in the wrong place... can't they look at my licnese plate and approach instead with "Hi Mr. last name, we see you are here for your 1:40 appointment, let me get you started... instead they approach with a... basically... what are you doing here? Then said they would go get an "advisor" meanwhile I sit there for 10 minutes, while a dozen employees criss cross my car, sitting inside, no one comes to me, when the greeter comes back and says has he talked with you yet... I say no.. he goes to get the "advisor" again who comes out and says alrighty let' get you in and out in about 2 hrs... I said, I was promised this was an express one hour appointment.. he said yeah it's express but it's going to be two hour.... He told me to go upstairs kick back and relax.... Really?! it's the middle of my workday... do you kick back and relax for a few hours in the middle of your work day... this isn't my vacation... this is my car service appointment and I have to continue working... Then they text me my vehicle is done and to check out with cashier. Cashier asks me to sign a doc, when I ask what the estimate charge is for, he acts like she can't believe I have a question, looks at it and says she doesn't know... and I say well I don't know either and you are asking me to sign this... she acts confused until I sign. She hands me my keys and points to a side lot and says my car will be there... I walk out wandering that lot not able to find my car so I have to return back and explain I can't find my car... She got on the radio calling to see where my car is, had to attempt several times as she was looking around at another lot area where I then spotted my car, and her response was yeah sorry , they didn't tell me where you car is.... good service is SO SIMPLE and yet rarely given.... Why couldn't she have said great Mr. Last Name, let me walk you out to your car... Like a wonderful restaurant does when you ask for a restroom and great servers walk you all the way there rather than pointing arbitrarily. More
Is there a “0” star option? This dealership is a complete mess. Brought my X5 M50i in for a windshield chip. Service Advisor claimed tech advised replacement. Was hesitant, b This dealership is a complete mess. Brought my X5 M50i in for a windshield chip. Service Advisor claimed tech advised replacement. Was hesitant, but went forward with it. What a complete disaster. The dealership claimed they installed the required parts. My vehicle’s sensors, alerts, head up display, dashboard and display all began to malfunction and completely stop working. Blacked out completely several times. In short, a disaster. Brought the car back three times leaving my vehicle more than thirty total days. When I picked it up, was told that they had resolved the issue and that BMW corporate endorsed their decision and the condition of the vehicle. Regardless of all that has been listed here above, and the severe glares and near zero UV filtering on the new windshield, it was “normal.” I filed a BBB complaint, they sidestepped the issue and claimed BMW manufacturer left them no choice because that was the only windshield available for my 2022 X5 M50i. The BBB closed the case because Mountain View BMW said “we had no choice.” Well, I took my vehicle to another BMW dealership and Safelite Auto Glass. Safelite and the other BMW dealership worked together to get to the bottom of the matter. It turns out, once they removed the Mountain View BMW installed windshield, they discovered the part wasn’t the part number Mountain View BMW had been claiming it was. It was a completely different and less expensive part with an unknown part number. The Mountain View BMW installed windshield had a cut cable to the front camera. All agreed the cable had been deliberately cut. Cut cable means nonfunctional front camera. All the times when I complained they set they recalibrated etc. Well, that wasn’t possible with the fault codes that the system produced. There’s no way Mountain View BMW could have cleared my vehicle for safe release; however, they did. Safelite and the BMW dealership installed the proper windshield. When it was installed, my vehicle returned to its normal operating condition. The claims made by the service managers at Mountain View BMW concerning my safety and vehicle operation concerns is simply appalling. They gaslit me the entire time. All the while, they were not telling the truth. I now know the proper way to identify the correct windshield part for my vehicle. The funny thing, it’s BMW method of marking the windshield to ensure every BMW owner doesn’t encounter this problem. I will simply say that it is very clear many were not telling the truth and have not only misled me, but their management, BMW corporate and likely many others. They’ve not heard the last of this issue. More
