Where Is The Official Mileage Stored?
Long and short. My new M5 CP has a mileage stopper, and i believe the mileage isnt true of the car. In process of rejecting car and getting a refund.
BMW having the vehicle Tuesday to confirm the device. Can they pull off the official mileage? Is it possible? Super gutted though. Will mooch hard on the next one.

So there was a device found. They filter the mileage to all ECUs so you will never find out true mileage of the car. In that regards, its been misrepresented and i wont be wanting to keep this car. All services maintenance oil changes could be out
Hopefully things go well and i get my money back and some reimbursement.

I was deactivating stop start tech, which in turn by accident i was activating the blocker. Then i started to look into it. Never even knew they existed! BMW tech said to me it had to be a blocker, and they got the car in and found it. So far...the garage i got it from is not taking responsibility.

Getting close to resolution now. As i had 3rd party finance they accepted my rejection and will refund my money back, also will look at extras being returned too.
They are then going to reject the car to the garage and take matters further. Basically removing me from the equation. Not driven the M5 for a few wks but will be collected off my drive soon. Back to the old M5 hunt again!!!

Mostly attached to start/stop. But could be another button .... Sold on ebay so they usually tell you on there, depending on car, some may have a different way of operating. Any dubious mileage from history id think twice or ask a few more questions eg if car only done 1-2k miles in 6-9 mths (can find all that data from MOTs Services and visits to BMW).

No, fairly reputable performance car garage in Bristol
RS Direct. Seemed great, friendly etc but when it came to light they didnt want to know. And i bet they wouldnt want that car back....as they will be in a loss situation. Id like to think they didnt know, but its not my problem, im just an innocent consumer buyin a car.

Interesting about RS Direct. They have a good rep in general, sounds like they let themselves down here. Good customer service is about how the difficult things are dealt with, not the bit where they persuade you to part with your money. And such a device is a new one on me. Lucky you found it. |
