I think so. When I dealt with mine VWoA asked if there were any accessories I bought with the car.

Two things are true
1. BMW all around dropped the ball here, from the computer not identifying what was wrong to the service dept being inept.
2. The tint shop sucks

Wondering if I should try and get the tint cost refunded also… through the tint shop of course.

With my experience, you will be reimbursed for everything you have spent on the car. I've had customers reimbursed for tint, clear bra, ceramic coating, and dealer installed aftermarkets. Also wheel and tire/gap/finance office products.
Give them invoices for everything you've purchased.
Mileage is usually deducted at the standard rate - PFS charges 25 cents a mile, so expect to have a similar amount deducted for mileage. Fuel and insurance will be on you.
It will probably be counted from delivery mileage to when it went into the shop. And then likely your returned mileage to date of turn-in.

At that price I'd prob let it slide if it were me, just so you dont risk BMW asking questions and putting together that it was a 'mod' that initiated the issue. YMMVmax225 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 11:50 amtwo fiddygolftdibrad1 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 11:47 am

Some fun facts:
Current car expenses are $2700 a month with the 3 cars all in... (all in cost with maintenance+insurance+depreciation etc)
With the I4 and tacoma it'll probably drop to $1565
A single V8 defender is $2600 a month or so fully laden cost.
It seems like it's too much money for a car...
I don't want to pollute this thread too much with next car purchases but $$$$ is obviously a consideration. The V8 defender costs nearly 2X to operate over the IX, especially if it isn't a lease. I'd be losing $550 a month in free cash money from the gov by tying up 120k

I'm assuming you mean interest in a savings account? It's wild that this is such a factor now, but you'remax225 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:05 pm Some fun facts:

Maybe just roll with the i4 and Taco for a while? Seems like those two kind of check all of the boxes. Get an EVSUV for when it's time for the i4 to go back and maybe something fun for you.

US treasuries pay 5.5% a year now... and it doesn't even need state taxes. 100% risk free other than losing the money of course to inflation. Interest rates on new cars are 4-10%... so that's a non starter anyways... imagine paying 1k a month in INTEREST on a defenderD Griff wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:12 pmI'm assuming you mean interest in a savings account?

It seems like I4+Taco make for the most sensible proposition... but I may go an ultimate move next... There is a chance I can punt the i4 also... get another IX life... sell the taco and get something fun... this way the IX turns into the commuter/family car and possibly get something like an M2/Type R/M3 as a weekender. more on that later once the IX schedule clears up.
