    If they were to compensate you for the mistake, what form of compensation would resolve the issue for you?

    id like to have it working as its meant to but that's a far cry. Not sure but I think its not my mistake and id have to leave that up to them to figure out.

    Dealer name removed. This isn't the place to sign up to warn people away from businesses.

    If you have paperwork showing dealer said the feature should exist, and it doesn't, then you can escalate to BMW Ireland, which you seem to have.
    Keep pushing BMW Ireland.

    Surely you are. However, signing up and giving out about a company isn't "opinion" and this privately owned site isn't subject to free speech.
    If someone signed up to give out about you or your business we'd remove that too to avoid legal "confusion".

    You have some suggestions in the thread. Of course it must be frustrating to not get what you paid for but tbh, it can have been a mistake and let's focus on the solution now.

    I find other posters picking the op's every post apart in an attempt to back the dealer and/or prove him wrong very unsettling.

    Personally I don't know the dealer from Adam, don't even live in the same county.

    I just believe the OP is being unfair to a business on a public forum and not specific enough in his accusations. If the specification in question was advertised in writing in the advert or similar, then i'd be backing him. But all I can see is that it was simply said in conversation, perhaps by mistake. Which is unfortunate, buts that's about all it is.

    It's not a deal-clinching feature, especially on a three year old car that wasn't specifically ordered by the current customer.

    What's more unsettling is a brand new poster signing up to a big forum and slating a business over a minor issue.

    It's to prevent legal action taken against the website. If somebody slated your own business, the mods would do the same.

    I appreciate Biko's attempts to remove the dealer's name, and reading this thread just now had me going mad that I didn't know who everyone was talking about.

    But then I had a quick look at the tags..... ;)

    All these pages in and I'm none the wiser what connected drive is. :)

    To be fair, from reading the thread it appears that the sales staff made an honest mistake. Is this connected drive a big deal?

    I it not spoil for BMW to retro fit it now?

    It's probably more of a big deal to charge extra for it and offer no reimbursement for their 'mistake' than having/not having it is.

    I very much doubt they charged extra for it on a used car....

    OP.... do you have it in writing that your car comes with Connected Drive?
    from the dealer/salesperson

    if you do, then very simple.... see a solicitor.... be sorted out in no time.

    if you dont have it in writing, its only your word the dealer said it had this and that, which could be your way of scamming the dealer for all anyone knows....

    Always get it in writing....
