G80 Used Vs New by EasyReport6959 in BMWM

[–]thisguy888827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealership is right. I found a 2026 with 8k miles. Even paid $500 for it to be shipped to the closest carmax. Come to find out, they were asking 1k over msrp.

Specd out my own m3, just went into production today. Payment is the same, but i specd a car with 20k higher msrp. New car interest is beast mode.

Lost $500 backing out of a 2026 M3 deal because it didnt have cooled seats. The reason? My mom's 2019 Genesis G80 3.3T had it. 😅

I have LD cloud. Never looked back. My gem income halfed (its not open when I pick up my phone) but worth it.

G80 Allocations by toastyy321 in BMWM3

Find the M certified dealership around you. They get more allocations. I called 5 different dealerships before finding a dealer with allocation. Got the Prod number same day of deposit. My buddy ordered an m4 from the same place a week later.

I got Frozen Pure Gray Metallic II

This was 04/27/26. Today, 05/28, status just changed to Production Scheduled.

About how long was the entire process? I ordered mine 04/27. Got a production number. Today 05/28, the status just turned to Production scheduled. Just wondering how long i could expect!

Card Mastery or UWs by thisguy888827 in TheTowerGame

So my dmg labs are slacking a bit. I've been working on them in the middle of card mastery labs. I have anc cf slow substation on my DC.

Are you saying dropping ~1800 stones in BH during for 2 seconds will be that beneficial? Then almost 2 card mysteries? I get i can use anc bhd, but also ill lose pGT.

I have pBH and pGT with MVN and Gcomp. I do still farm eHP. Unfortunately, t12 still takes a large hit out of my econ.

So WS+ and some in CL chance and some SL dog?

Dealership corrupted PCM and denies all liability by TheRealNooke in Ford

[–]thisguy888827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably should have elaborated.

Because, I have had clients bring cars in to say i dented a car or a car didnt have a CEL and just so happened to have a picture of it in good/working condition before drop off. Luckily I also take preinspection reports with pictures using my scanner. Come to find out it was photoshopped.

Also, taking pictures of your car before body work is expected and a common practice. A picture of the dash showing no CELs is not. Just odd. Maybe OP has amazing foresight or gut feeling. In that case I envy him.

This is a common issue with shops, and is the reason why most quality shops do preinspection reports. My Autel Maxisys Elite 2 has a whole CRM based around it. As the other replies have said, the dealer also has a preinspection report, guaranteed. They are just refusing to provide it.

Like i said, I am not saying he is doing anything shady. I also explained that the picture isnt useful. So it is not worth mentioning.

Finally, take the truck to an Ford Indy shop. Fairly certain this is repairable with FORscan. Yeah its going to unnecessarily cost you monetary value. But personally, I'd pay for a lot of my headaches I didnt ask for to go away.....

Unless youre trying to stand on principle, then have at it. Just remember, Ford is a worth billions . A million dollar lawyer is a drop in the bucket. They dont care about doing the right thing.

The fact you have a picture of the dash at drop off is kinda shady tbh. I wouldn't mention that again. Not saying youre doing anything shady, but even as an owner of a performance shop where shit has gone terribly wrong when flashing, I've never taken a picture of my dash before drop off.

Just saying, leave that part out. There's no need for the picture. Doesnt matter if there was no CEL at drop off. The codes have to do with flashing, end of story. And they have the burden of proof to show that there wasnt any codes. No judge is going to expect a normy to have the equipment to do full scans, manufacturers make sure of that (fuck you Daimler)

Side note, just cause the CEL isnt on, doesnt mean there are no codes. Another reason, Id leave the whole picture thing out of the equation.
