    Beware: BMW charged me $750 for a smog check

    Yep... and in this case a false one. Thanks. I might actually try the dealer first here in Boulder... the owner was really nice and trying rally hard to make sure the return process was as easy and seemless as possible... only to be thwarted by BMW financial. I'm sure he would also be unhappy...

    Beware: BMW charged me $750 for a smog check

    Just returned my end of lease BMW. It had a "service required" message on the screen, and when you go down the menu it said it required a "CA smog check". A smog check cost under $50. In this case the message was in error... I'm not even in CA. So it was a false error message. I was...

    Keyfob falls apart...

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/81dNM5DFu58RJ0472 I'm about to do a lease return but both my keyfobs have fallen apart... Those little silver colored plastic strips. (See photo in link above) I don't like the idea of being potentially charged 2*$430 for what appears to be a manufacturing fault on a...

    Rapid lease early termination, or swap, or anything!

    I don't know, but ... Bay Area is what I'm referring to when I say "around here". Look at the recent history of 503 San Jorge Terrace Sunnyvale. Yes it is accurate. 9 days from on the market to closed for way above asking, and much of that time was the bidding war. I'm guessing the deposit was...

    Rapid lease early termination, or swap, or anything!

    Confirmed with 2 people at BMW. The only caveat is that the other dealers are permitted to refuse, which they occasionally do when their lots are full (e.g. NYC). I hope BMW dealers in CO don't hate i3 lease returns. Now to see if we can get the car shipped today, else it will be a long Rex...

    Rapid lease early termination, or swap, or anything!

    They may pay to ship the car or mileage... they are already paying mileage for 2 cars and transport for one, so I'll need to see if they can cover a third car. Even if it isn't covered, that is just $80 in gas and $30 in mileage which is cheaper than the other options and we do have an extra...

    Rapid lease early termination, or swap, or anything!

    I'm stuck. I leased a 2015 i3 Rex for 30 months... a little under 6 months left. I've used up almost all the miles (1k left, $0.20/mile extra). I found out details this week that I'm getting a corporate relocation to Colorado (currently Bay area California). We're driving out of California this...

    Good idea to get an i3 for around 500 miles per week?

    The garage: what is the current 240volt socket? If it is an L6-20 or L6-30 for welding then you can buy an evse to plug straight in and go, no need for an electrician. What's the breaker amperage? For the PGE rates... If you are charging at home overnight then switching to time of use rates...
