Recurring SatNav issue!! MASSIVE UPDATE

Great news, bud seems odd that your problem with the satnav requires a total car replacement.

And what is the ‘experience’ fleet, sounds impressive but does it just mean a loaner?

Well I’m not complaining!! Lol!! And yes I guess it’s just a posh term for a loaner!! 👍

Doesn't bode well for others with the same problem in the future.
Can imagine going in to BMW with this problem only to be told "ah, you need a new car to fix the problem" :)

Cutting a long story short, a brand new Z4 has been ordered for me in identical colour and specification for September build. In addition BMW are supplying me with a Z4 from their ‘experience’ fleet until my new one arrives. I didn’t ask for this and am therefore delighted. Utterly outstanding response from BMW and Sytner Coventry!! I will update as this progresses!! 👍👍
Well done, great outcome for you. Nice outcome for your dealer too. :thumbsup:

Yea good outcome for sure, and I guess this means your new Z4 will be a 69-plate rather than a 19-plate! Any chance you can try complaining to them about all the niggles I've had with mine and see if I can have a new one too haha :D

The Experience Fleet cars are all brand new and owned by BMW UK themselves rather than a dealer. I was given an M240i Convertible by them when my Z4 order got delayed. Turned up with just delivery miles on it and it was mine to keep for as long as needed with far less restrictions than a dealer loan vehicle. Almost felt a bit bad after I gave it back and found it for sale with £15k off the list price having only been driven by me, savage depreciation....

Cheers! Yes it will be a 69 plate and yes hopefully it’ll function perfectly! Last time I ever buy a brand new model. Yup my experience fleet car (ended up as a 220d msport convertible) is brand new and fully fuelled. Not a Z but very nice all the same!

Just had an email to say that my plate has been put on retention! Things must be happening!! The 220d Sport Convertible is lovely but it ain’t a Z!! Hoping for an update this week!!

Its taken three years to get my Aug 2016 (E89) Sat Nav fully functioning !
To be fair mine was a fault that only presented myself when i took the car to Europe on holiday - Nevertheless this , its third year abroad is the first time I've had a fully reliable system - The problem may have been caused by the fitting of a BMW Dash Cam but i will never know - My compensation from BMW was a free dash cam in the 335.

I thought that was quite fair as the system worked 100% in the UK for 49/50 weeks.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Latest Update: my replacement Z4 is now in paint. Does anyone know how long it takes to complete the car from this stage? Sytners are saying it’ll be in the UK 3rd week September but may arrive sooner. Anyone know what usual timings are? Cheers 👍

I think it should be at your dealer around 13th September. I have had seven new BMW’’s over the past 14 years and it usually takes a week for manufacture, a week for shipping to the UK distribution centre and another week to get tot your dealer. Best of luck. Enjoy your new ride when you get it. :driving:
