Are you guys not reading why the insurance wont cover it? She goofed off and let it lapse..meaning she didnt renew it when she had to and she was riding around without it.

Or, she could have waited til she got her insurance back and reported it... smh
Already thought about this but the arson report has a detailed report including the vin. The only reason arson went out was to make sure it wasnt set intentionally.

To make things worse her insurance lapsed therefore she is not covered. she still owes almost 10,000 on the car. I told her she could part it out and try to recover what she can the motor is going for 6k at the local salvage yards and the wheels are 1200 on craigslist it had the sport package idk what difference it makes though. She cant turn it in she has spent the last 5 years fixing her credit and she doesnt want a repo on it. My question is what would NT do in this situation? Is there anyone she can sue for it the dealer ship, BMW, the mechanic shop?

The only light on the dash was the ABS. She had it scheduled to be dropped of this pasted friday to get the brakes serviced. I was wondering if anyone knew of any recalls or where I look up to see if there were any.

It would be greatly appreciated I am going to talk to my lawyer tomorrow and see what he has to say.. If there was a recall would BMW be liable or will they say its her fault for not taking it in to get serviced for that specific recall?Originally Posted by GSDOUBLEU

i think there are a few for that series, i would have to check tomorrow at work.
They should have contacted her, if they indeed did then im assuming she would be the one responsible for not taking it in.Originally Posted by NoTurninBack
