Help!
BMW have advised that the EME motor and possibly the gearbox needs replacing on my 2015 i3 with 89k miles on the clock. £5k and £3K respectively. No goodwill available due to mileage and BMW UK tell me that the design life of the car is 90K miles (150k kms). 8 years warranty on the battery in not much good if you have to pay £8k+ to replace the drivetrain every five years
Anyone know of an independent who will put in a salvaged motor/gearbox?
I am shocked that BMW can produce an environmentally friendly vehicle with such a low design lifetime and make it so unreliable. Any manufacturer that claims to produce an ECO friendly car and that car needs a drivetrain replacement every five years is a fraud.
