    Replacing Steering Wheel

    Hey, TheMK thank you for the links. I followed some of the instructions and it looks like that I have to let the car fall asleep, disconnect the 12 volt negative terminal before attempting to remove the airbag. Thanks again.

    New 2015 Rex CPO Owner with a sad story - still developing.

    I’ve reached the end of what I’m willing to do. I went to the dealer to pick up my supposed to be fixed rims just to find them damaged. The straitened them but in the process removed the paint clear off the areas they worked on. The service manager at BMW of Spokane suggested that the would be...

    New 2015 Rex CPO Owner with a sad story - still developing.

    Hi all, I decided to email the executives and tell them all that transpired. If this does not take care of it I think I will eat the cost of the parts. I am more than capable to do the repair myself. I have done it before in other cars. I guess I'd be paying $850 to get out of my life people...

    New 2015 Rex CPO Owner with a sad story - still developing.

    Hi MKH, what you suggest is exactly what I requested to BMW of America and the dealer. They refuse to replace the items. I am fine with the rim repair. At this junction, I am not sure how to compel them to replace these parts with new ones. It is a cheap fix. Any ideas?

    New 2015 Rex CPO Owner with a sad story - still developing.

    Updated: BMW of America called and told me that what the dealer is offering is sufficient. To recap they are saying that they will no react to the fact that the dealer did not disclose at the time of the sale the damage on the steering wheel, rims or driver seat. I told them that their...

    New 2015 Rex CPO Owner with a sad story - still developing.

    Hi all, thanks for your replies. Here is an update. At this point, I drove to the dealership. They offered to repair the rims and get an interior guy to work on the upholstery issues. Needless to say, I do not like that resolution. I asked them if BMW would stand behind the rim fix, they did not...

    New 2015 Rex CPO Owner with a sad story - still developing.

    Hi i3Houston, I followed your advice and got ahold of BMW. The customer service gentleman, Ryan, insisted to escalate this case immediately. I will see what will happen. We are awaiting a snow storm here and I am afraid I won't be able to drive 90 plus miles to the dealership. Maybe Friday...

    New 2015 Rex CPO Owner with a sad story - still developing.

    Hi all, Like many of you, I fell in love with the i3. On 12/29/18 I took the plunge and purchased the 2015 Rex with 18k miles CPO for $18k. I felt like the price was fair giving the CPO. Now that is the good part of the story, please stick around to hear the predicament I find myself in. When...
