lol, that thing definitely floated... the only time water could maybe come in is if the water comes up to the window line ...

haha ... man thats so weird !

the water was still below the air intake tho. don't worry... I've seen an E90 started and being driven in water deeper than that.

So far BMW say it needs a new exhaust and at only R50K its a bargain.. They said they will try getting the brake disks & pads & some other things replaced under motorplan and still will be checking other stuff like gearbox etc

Then we must check to see if there is any body damage from the trees & rubbish floating around the car

 

[zaleonardz]

WTF are they smoking.....

 

[1lum1nat1]

50k my ass, 6-8k for a TNT or Wildcat thats 100 times better, and thats only if you have to. Retards.

Jinne I'll smack that ,mechie so bloody hard.

The cars still under motorplan so my dad would not want to go the aftermarket route.

 

[zaleonardz]

its typical BMW stuff though..

How many cats do they want to replace...

---

provided insurance is paying...

 

[andrewbuch]

my dad just phoned me to tell me its R50k.. all I know so far

 

[moranor@axis]

WTF are they smoking.....

What ever they smoking you can bet it costs about 50k

 

[zaleonardz]

maybe not, they still need to make a profit

imp:
but isn't the insurance suppose to cover anything the motorplan doesn't??

 

[zaleonardz]

In my view, motorplan should of course refute the entire claim, as the conditions of the incident fall beyond the scope of "wear and tear".

Insurance should pick up this tab, right up to the last brake sensor, with a single excess

 

[Coisman]

imp:
I totally agree with Zaleo here, but then on the other hand it will all depend
on what cover you have on your insurance.

 

[andrewbuch]

Insurance should cover it all. Think the bmw guy is just being nice saying he will try get some stuff covered by motorplan.

The headlights and the windscreen also got "damaged" in this event so hopefully they can also get replaced as they are so sand blasted.

 

[andrewbuch]

So we still waiting for the car..

Been taking them ages, so many promises that it will be ready today but today never comes.. many fights etc.. BMW Head office is gona get a letter.


they now waiting for stock of the fog lights as they replacing those as well...

also was waiting for the exhaust & 2 new keys..

& my dad is in the market for a newer car for my mom & guaranteed will not be getting it from this specific dealership....

 

[zaleonardz]

Joh,

at this rate, I am surprised it did not come close to a writeoff, still only 50k damage ?

 

[andrewbuch]

54k damage. Exhaust and fogs. The keys was cause they did not work nicely. Had to put key right up to the car before it worked. Not flood damage related

 

[DonovanPorter]

not cool hey i hope all turns out alright

 

[Cole]

talk about taking a while!

 

[andrewbuch]

So yesterday again they tell my dad the car is ready..

He goes there & fills in all paperwork that needed filling in.

Goes to check the car & now there is a +-1inch scratch between the grill & 1 headlight that was not there before.. So told them to fix it..

Then they fought with him saying he needs to return the courtesy car as its assigned to another customer, he told them to forget it..


Last time we ever sending a car to lyndhurst auto..

Even signed the paperwork for my moms new car through Zambezi auto...
