Next time it's in for service for the same problem, I'd lemon law it. I've had two cars replaced (for friends) under the LL so far. It works pretty well.

Lemon laws vary from state to state. Why don'd you Google your state's lemon law and find out what the law is for your particular state? That way you can be sure to keep track and when the time limit is getting close you have some extra 'incentive' for the dealer.

if your car is in the shop more than 2 weeks you should have already started the lemon law procedure....? you'll be amazed how quickly things start to move once you start moving on the lemon law....

Also, I have a noise in the suspension they've attempted to repair, without success, twice now. They've taken my whole suspension apart twice now. Not too comfortable knowing that. I'm going in for a third time for that next week.
The car has been in the shop a total of about 15 days. I live in Florida. Are these problems serious enough to be Lemon Lawed? They don't seem serious enough to me......

Just got mine back after 2 1/2 weeks in the shop for engine repairs (after only 2000 miles?). The Director of Operations commented to me that only after 15 business days could I ask for a new replacement car or my money back. Incidently, it was only after I called and raised hell to the dealer, sent 3 letters into the GM and other Managers, and complained to BMWUSA, that I received a call back. Pathetic customer service. Btw... they returned the car with a door ding (my 1st), grease stains on the headliner, and a scuffed bumper from where they hit something.
