I believe it worked against a local dealership with a lemon Challenger.

Threaten to do this and contact print, TV and online media outlets if you do.

Ah now I know who this is. I worked with your old man everyday @ CP. Crappy to hear about this. Hopefully Canem Auto Gallery does the right thing, and steps up to the plate to correct this.

Whatever is going on with this particular situation aside, the fact that all their Google reviews basically read like paid advertisements written by staff doesn't say much for their credibility in my opinion.

I can't believe places don't think people see right through that shit.

updated.

Glad it all worked out and hopefully that tech at Alpine gets his ass reamed for screwing up so badly.

Might also want to edit the title again.

What a frustrating experience. Hopefully you didn't get too stressed over it.

Love the thread title change.

[JRSC00LUDE]

I'm glad to hear all that, it reclaims their image.

I still stand by my Google review opinion though haha!

Regardless, there's no reason to speak poorly of them and that's what speaks in the end.

Wonder how much BEYOND had to do with the sudden change of heart on the dealers part

The mechanics at Nurburgring Auto explained why there was silt/sand and why some components had corrosion and rust on them. It was a combination of the spare tire being wet and the electrical components being right beside the ventilation duct in the rear (explains the silt/sand). The incorrectly installed harness exposed the wires to this normal condensation/debris which shorted out the electrical and caused the problems.
In fact, the mechanics at Nurburgring then went on to state this X5 was the 'most beautiful ones' they have seen come in and the one guy said 'he would love to own it himself 'due to its superior condition. Says a little bit about what I was sold from Canem Auto Gallery and confirms what I believed about the condition of the vehicle when I purchased it .

UPDATE 1: (Feb25) Canem has gotten in touch with me and is requesting a 2nd opinion from Nurburgring LTD so the X5 is being moved to that shop.

Why did Canem tell you to get a 2nd opinion from that specific shop and not a dealership? Seems weird to me.

Silt/sand cannot get into modern car electrical plugs by just brushing/blowing/sitting by it. They are incredibly tight fit connections. There are lots of electrical connectors in engine bays and this kind of stuff never happens from just regular driving.
Was anything rusty inside the car? Just curious.

Lastly you seem to be only listening to what you want to hear, Im sure you are ready to throw it back on the market and let it be someone elses problem once sold. Sorry this is probably not what you want to hear but something doesnt seem right to me.
Either way, best of luck with the sale of the car!

Funny, I told Baygirl the same thing, and she told me not to post it and stir up more shit.

I personally smell something fishy, and it is not sitting right with me. I am suspecting some back room deal struck between the OP and the dealer. /suspicion.

Or a backroom deal between Canem and Nurburgring LTD...

[spikerS]

^^I thought that was implied...I still would be interested to hear about it from BMW directly.

[blitz]

^^I mean a deal to fool the OP, not that the OP is in on it.
