Motorplan

[AdamH]

Hi Guys,

Looking for some insight into a mates issue.

The motorplan has been suspended due to a DownPipe being fitted. :flyfun:

He has since re-installed the original DP.

What would be the process of re-activating a motorplan?

Is this possible? The car is 2011 & has 60k odd kms on the clock.

Thanks.

well nothing much you can do i think... never heard of anyone fitting original parts back and having the motorplan re-instated reason being bmw are against modifications. if your friend had a DP fitted he most likely had software aswell. so bmw cannot re-instated motorplan due to the fact that they cannot determine if the mods have caused any damage to parts etc and if they re-instate the motorplan they will then be liable to pay for future damage possibly caused by the mods.

They can reinstate. I went through the same issue on my cousin's (our ex car) E92 M3. Forsdicks picked up software, suspended plan. Gave us 7 days for it to be reverted back to stock, loaded the stock file back and plan was then re-instated. Maybe I got lucky, who knows because they were rather nice about the whole situation.
I don't even know how they picked it up because the limiter hadn't been removed.

Thnx Yulz maybe I am wrong but if there is a 7day window to revert back to stock then alot more modding will be taking place lol maybe if someone can confirm this for us?:thumbs:

or maybe it was just a unique situation you got you guys in and they gave you guys atleast 7 days..

The plan can be re-instated but you have to pay for some check of the car - this is wat I heard? Perhaps someone can confirm?

the only way to get an accurate answer is to ask BMW SA themselves. personally, i think he has no chance of having MP reinstated :sorry:

After a quick call to BMW SA, the result is:

The motorplan can be re-instated, only after the vehicle has been returned to standard and goes through a quality check at a BMW dealership.

Costs around R2500.00 according to BMW SA call centre.

Does any1 have a contact at BMW in JHB North, where the car can be taken and tested?

Much appreciated.

I hope they reinstate it, but I can see the following coming

"We cannot fully determine the long term damage the mod has done to the car in question. Thank you for your R2500, your application to have the MP reinstated is denied."

:fencelook:

surely you will only have to pay after they do the check?

:dunno:

anything with BMW SA is usually payment upfront. they aren't going to waste labour checking the car for free. its cheaper for them to cancel MP. no free lunch. but like i said not 100% sure

edit: then again, if they cancel the MP, they score big, so they may not charge the R2500 as you say

Busy going thru the same issue at the moment.

My dealer says it will be re-instated. Wont be an issue.

Just tell them to do a quality check again. And then once it passes,
which it will. ( just make sure you dont have software on ) they will
re instate it.

thats cool, so you can mod your car and if you get caught, its kinda like paying a R2500 fine. This sheds a whole new light on the DP's I wanted :rollsmile:

:joy:

Well if you don't pay then you don't get your car, no:dunno:

Don't think it will be fair if they gonna charge you R2500 just to say something to you that you already know.

I know motorplan can make up the biggest BS, but I don't think they will go that extreme:yuck:

:thumbs: hence the edit, but you never know. by modifying the car you have voided the agreement. why must they go to the trouble of checking everything on the car for free and say, ok MP is still void, no charge for the check. Do BMW SA not get a dealership to do the check and if so, who pays the dealership if the MP is still voided?

just saying :dunno:

 

[tcal69]

Ok was just quoting what you say about paying R2500 and still deny the reinstate of MP, which I highly doubt coz they have already given you the option of returning everything to stock so they can check (which you still have to pay for it anyways) to get reinstated MP:=):

ok, so are we saying that if the MP is still void, there is no charge from BMW?

or are we saying that BMW will return the car to stock? (it sounded like BMW were saying that you can return the car to stock before they assess it).


Come AdamH, enlighten us here :roflol:

 

[tcal69]

ok, so are we saying that if the MP is still void, there is no charge from BMW? Well, what will the reason(s) being for not reinstated the MP? Because they don't know what future damages will be? If that's the case there's no point in asking the owner to change everything back to stock and take his or her money right?

or are we saying that BMW will return the car to stock? (it sounded like BMW were saying that you can return the car to stock before they assess it). That's what I thought? no:fencelook:

If that's the case there's no point in asking the owner to change everything back to stock and take his or her money right? maybe I misunderstood. having a rethink, are they assessing the car to see that its stock or do they take it a step further to see if there was any harm caused by the mods? If its the latter, then there is a chance of the MP remaining void, in which case, who pays for the assessment? If not, I take all i said back and then your argument makes perfect sense :rollsmile:
