UPDATE #1: Motoring File ran it, and Motoring File made it disappear. Did they trust bad sources? Did they run the story without checking it out? Why didn't they wait for confirmation or denial from MINI? What a strange thing to do to their cash cow! :crazy:

UPDATE #2: A new story has been posted at Motoring File.

 

Yup.....has gone from the 'FUN and HONEST enthusiast site" to the BMW/MINI pr outlet.....as it has become more of a JOB for the folks that run it, and less of a hobby....its usefulness is less...
Kinda like White-roof radio (podcast)....sad times IMO.

One more choice...
was the FIRST incomplete article just CLICK BAIT....to drive rumors to get extra page views..to sell more adds??

 

So you guys think Motorfile and MINI / BMW are different? :lol:
They are the same thing.

Just buy the new F56 and do as your told and don't ask anymore questions.

 

Oh my gosh the warranties are shrinking & the new F56 has leaks planted in it. Will it leak only for the second owner out of warranty? :wink:

 

Fixed that for you.

How dare you put down the "New Original" F56. :mad5:

* "Lifetime" refers to when you have your first problem or as soon as you drive it off the lot"

 

And now the new story is gone from the Motoring File home page. How far off were these guys? :confused5::crazy:

 

Me thinks it was BMW checking on the reaction before committing to change. MF will be all right Mother BMW will still take care of them.

 

Prepare thyself for some major a$$ kissin in all things BMW......

 

MF is just going to blame the new intern.
Barry (from MC2) it was his first story on MF. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Read the comments on MF from a MA with MINI:

Really funny: MotoringFile » Archive » UPDATE: MINI USA Not Making Warranty or Maintenance Changes For 2015 Cars

Once again, motoringfile finds out something before MAs hear about it. I've seen no bulletins saying this.

MA, if you read the bulletin from our BMW side of the house this warranty transfer is ONLY referring to the No-Cost Maintenance Program; NOT THE MECHANICAL WARRANTY.

Sales Bulletin: V-1-0514-25

Aftersales Bulletin: B2-A-0514-0014

This truly is a great move by BMW USA to come up with a solution to losing out on the program entirely as Germany has wanted to eliminate the no-cost maintenance program because of its insanely high cost. For those unaware, the US is the ONLY country that has this program in the world (for both BMW and MINI). We see everyday third-party dealers take advantage of having their used MINI's maintained at the expense of those that truly paid for the program; the first buyer. The transfer fee is nominal for those concerned and this is only starting with NEW 2015 BMW's that take delivery after July 1st.
