I don't understand why he wouldn't take a car that was repainted, it's not a joeblow it's the fucking original factory doing this

WTF Is wrong with you guys. The guy paid 80k$ for his "Individual" pack M3 and he got an ugly ass colour car that wasn't his choice instead. I'd be even madder than he is right now if that was my case. Then offering him to repaint a BRAND new M3?! Is this for real?! This isn't no corner of the street used car dealer here it's effin BMW Welt. It remains that with the Serial Number of the car, even if THEY repaint it, it'll still show up as the wrong colour. On top of that, repainted cars will never have the same strength the OEM paint has.
At the end of the day, BMW made a mistake and in his misfortune the guy was lucky it happened that way because it's clearly BMWs fault. If the car would've crossed the borders and got to the US I'm pretty sure he would've been stuck with it. I also don't get the 8 weeks wait for delivery of those seats. I mean com'on, you're BMW, you can custom order an interior and have it done in a couple of hours if escalated at the right level.
Can't wait to see what the final outcome will be because so far, they said they'll order him a new car but without the custom interior that he ordered and the guy said he's not flying with it so his dealership is still waiting for an answer from BMW.

Yes and no... They really need to swap out everything not only the seats. Door cards, console etc... It is true that it can create premature rattles.

Que se soit une Veyron ou une Yaris, si je l'ai commander d'un certaine façon, je veux l'avoir de cette façon la. Même au McDo, si je demande un trio Big Mac je veux un calis de Big Mac pas un MacPoulet. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les gens se laissent faire comme ça, surtout contre des grosses corporations qui en ont rien à chier.
Le gars a payer extra pour avoir le package "Individual", qui vaut pas loin de 10k$ extra et il n'as pas eu ce qu'il a payer pour. Criss avec le prix qu'il a payer en extra il aurais pu avoir une Accent neuve.
Des erreurs sa arrive et tout le monde le sait sauf que il y a des façons de dealer avec sa. Je trouve pas que c'est horrible ce que le gars vis, mais je pense que BMW pourrais se forcer un peu.
Soit lui laisser celle ci, à prix considérablement réduit OU lui refaire un autre véhicule, avec les options demandés dans une délai raisonnable, max 4 semaines. Le gars a déjà gaspiller 1 semaine de son temps à booker des spots en Europe et ils lui ont donner un X1 de base pour se promener. On s'entends que sa à rien a avoir avec une M3. Moi si je me book une semaine pour aller la-bas, je ne pourrais pas 1 mois après avoir 1 semaine de plus. J'ai une business a rouler et c'est très difficile de juste partir comme sa quand bon te semble.

The paint process in a BMW involves many complex steps (primer is actually applied by submerging the positively charged body in a negatively charged primer bath so that all areas are covered and the coat bonds on a molecular level) curing and timing etc. which could simply not be recreated in a normal paint booth. Don't for a second think that BMW would throw that car back into the paint stage of the assembly line after completely taking it apart to have the new paint of cost applied the same way. It would be a good job for sure but still not as good as the factory process.
I can also understand for the stitching part, he custom ordered and paid the price, he shouldn't have to accept something else if BMW fucks things up.
You guys also need to take into a count his trip is basically ruined, imagine taking time off, buying plane tickets to Germany, hotel, and then going to the Nurburgring in a fkin x1 loaner car. It's a euro delivery, it's not just a matter of driving to your local dealer, telling them to fuck off, re-order and coming back 6 weeks later. He went to fucking Germany only to pick up that car and it wasn't what he ordered. I would've flipped personally. BMW should at the very least reimburse his entire trip and make good in the delivery of the proper vehicle.

New one isn't coming out for AT LEAST another year, for which at the beginning Individual packs won't be available.
