UH-OH Loaner scrape
UH-OH Loaner scrape
So I take my car in this morning to get the missing door seals put on(R56). They give me a loaner
. I see the key and its a BMW 328i
sedan
. So we walk out to the car and it is parked nose in.
It an automatic
.
After a month and a half learning a manual I am total unaccustomed to it. You know reaching for the clutch and hitting the brakes. So am completely rattled. Backing up and the car stops with a bump.
What I did see in the dark was that there was a concrete dock not a car length away.
So now there is a softball size scrape on the rear bumper.
So now my free loaner is going to probably cost me 500 deductible.:impatient
I just need to tell my story.
Also after driving this car my day dreams of owning a BMW sedan are completely gone. It feels FAT and slow compared to MCS. The slow I understand. (no turbo duh.) The interior is nice I guess. But without the big speedo (or the digital readout) I really can't tell how fast I was going without thinking about where to look. I learned that I would NOT trade my car for one of these EVEN if they paid me to.

droped off
You are correct i dropped it off. Even after calling them and telling them early in the day and the didn't say anything. ::crossfingers:: I just the hope the other shoe doesn't drop. I want to be honest and that is the reason that I called them.
Dose anyone know how long they have to file?
You are correct I would have been very depressed if it had happened to my mini.
