I've lost that lovin' feelin'
Have had the e92 335 for a little over 2 months now.
Put 4000 miles on it. But the car has been in for the fuel pump problem for more than a week. I got it back 2 days ago and the Engine Fault Light has come on again. I will be taking the car back in tomorrow. I drive with a feeling of dread, expecting shit to hit the fan any moment. I have spent over $60K on a car and the damn thing has spent a quarter of its life in the shop. I just hope to get it fixed. Fer gad's sake, my previous car ('04 Chrysler Sebring) didn't once have anything go wrong with it in 70K miles. |

Hang in there... it does suck, but hopefully they'll get this fuel pump issue resolved soon. I hope you're getting a nice loaner at least.

well since you're in Dubai, just go outside and pump some more oil, then buy another car.
 Seriously that sucks, for 60k I would get something else other than a 3er, but I paid that much I would expect it to be perfect |

it's all relative, I'm sure that's the norm market price for a 3er there, if you want buy something better than a 3er over there, you'd have to pay more than 60k

Actually, the problem is that there is only one dealer for each brand here. So for certain models they charge a huge premium. For example the Jag XK is selling for $100K here (for the coupe).
And there is no lemon law here (no consumer rights in the middle east). I am heading out to the dealer in a few minutes. Lets wait and see |

That's not that bad for the Jaguar XK... It is 70~80k in the states!

Well, this only happens on certain models. For example the 5 series is priced the same as the U.S and so is the 3 series (excluding the e92 and e90 335).
Most cars are priced as per the U.S levels. If there is a high demand for a car they screw you. Cos there is only one dealer you can't even shop around. Well, the car is in the service center. But no loaner till the evening. I really love my e92. I have never smiled so much while driving and have never enjoyed a car this much. This is really the perfect car for me - sporty, yet practical. Subtle but a beast waiting to be unleashed. BUT, if this continues I will seriously have to think of getting rid of it. I just can't afford to have this continue. It inconveniences me too much and my job is too dependant on me being mobile.  |

You have no idea how bad it is, dude. The first batch of any new cars are generally bought by speculators/investors. When the 335 came out over here in November - the first shipment was bought by some second hand car dealers who then went onto sell it at 10% more than the list price. AND people actually bought them instead of waiting. |
