March 14th, 2007 03:26 PM #21hmmm i think that even the sales rep didnt know na old stock yan .... plus for me old or new stock, no diff naman e ... parepareho lang yan lahat basta same specs siya sa new stock, its really no big deal if old production siya or new production
if there are differences from the new stock from the old stock then go reklamo ka pero pag wala naman etc etc ganun nadin yun .. mahahassle pa kayo para awayin bmw

I'd go with a price deduction, but not just to the price back then... maybe a little more since the vehicle was sitting on the lot for a pretty long time. Try to wrangle some warranty on trim and other parts that might have suffered from long storage (mostly rubber).
But I like the trade-in for the 2.0d idea, too...
:hysterical: That's probably it! But then again, it's an unfair comparison because higher priced cars get slapped with such ridiculous taxes.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

March 15th, 2007 12:35 AM #23boyscout, is your 2002 e46 the facelifted one already?
is is not possible for bmw to tamper the date of manufacture in the computer?
i have read in the other forums that for a fee, you can have a 'clean' or 'make' a complete casa service record.
i guess its ok for them to sell new old stocks provided that there is full disclosure and they give generous discounts. it just does not make sense for bmw philippines to keep a year's worth of inventory if they can project their sales. i bet bmw philippines purposely bought new old stocks to save on cost and pass them on at premium prices to the local market. tsk tsk buyers beware...
thanks for sharing this info.

March 15th, 2007 12:40 AM #24a few months is understandable (between production date and car sales date is understandable). but buying a 2004 manufactured car as brand new in 2006 is...

March 15th, 2007 12:50 AM #25that's a common problem with high end cars
seatbelts is not really that reliable because kaya pa din palitan ito
Hindi naman lahat ng sasakyan merong computer that you can [relatively] easily access like in a BMW.
I don't think there's a practical way to talk to a Kia Picanto's ECU without the handheld scanner.

March 15th, 2007 06:26 AM #26Kung software ng ecu yun....I think they can just change it.
Back to the topic...asking a replacement of the unit (as per your mom's initial agreement before buying the unit) was the best deal for you.
If you want to settle for something less aggressive...I would suggest an extension of the warranty (parts and labor) would also be good than the discounts....after all they sold you an "old unit".
If you want a big hassle but would help a lot of BMW buyers...go to the media and expose the truth....walang mali sa pagsasabi ng tutuoo. By this way ma-force ang BMW seller in the Philippines to do a better business in the future.
But again, thanks for the heads-up senor boyscout....next time bibili ako ng BMW, I'll look back to this thread....

yep its facelifted already read this http://www.e46fanatics.com/faq/faqs.php
nakalagay diyan na MY2001 include styling changes which means facelifting. Pero you would notice that sa Philippines facelifted BMW started only year 2002 models. dahil 2001 buyers bought 2000 year stocks or worst 99 stocks. in this case 2001 buyers and lugi they should be getting facelifted versions already pero hindi pa.
kung di lang talaga maganda BMW dapat iboycott na ito ng buying public eh. kaya next time beware na lang future brand new bmw buyers, wag niyo pirmahan ang delivery invoice without checking the actual production date. it is your right you should be getting what you are paying for.

you can probably ask for a replacement if you ask nicely (at least at first), since you're a loyal customer and BMW would surely want to keep you happy. unless BMW philippines is too dense... but they'll be taking only a small loss but keep your future business by remedying the situation
