F10 535i alternative on support

[E46motorsport]

guys,

i need to seek enlightenment on this. issit true that only PML, MA has the proper equipment to maintain and repair this car, OR Pro BMW workshop can do equivalent or Better?

my requirement is simple , just maintain and repair or replace wear and tear stuff , ECU update? if i'm right?

thanks!

most bmw workshop can support including repair and mods ... but i do heard that because n55 is very new and outside workshop said they do not have the 'software' to update the ecu because bmw ag do not release it to non AD workshop

if the problem can only be resolved by software or ecu update would be tricky. last heard from workshop they are finding lobang to get the software from overseas

May i ask it is 20k/2years meaning this adoption will entitle you to the 2 years factory warranty?

if buying a highly spec up 535i with msport + sunroof + all tthe fancy features that makes pml vs pi price diff > $40k then buy from pi and then pay adoption fees (if really really necessary) later if shits happen - i would consider. i am pretty sure no one would buy pi 535i if the savings is < $30k as many bro will say not worth it

i have this current understanding situation.

Pi F10 M sports package , 210k w/out COE. 5 years warranty or 100k
with COE and MA adoption fee, probably the same price as PML.

PML F10 317k with COE before any discount or freebies.

based on that pricing and current coe, i will go with PML

Other than warranty, there are also other issues to consider. The PIs' choice of a small screen looks damn weird and cheapo on the F10. Many PI cars are also used as display units which are molested by many customers. For me, I will never buy a 2nd wife that is not a virgin. There are just too many unknowns when dealing with smaller players, even a price difference of $50K for a 535i is not worth it.

yeah ... must compare the specs and equipment.
price diff should be pml obscene margin and not pml big screen vs pi small screen
pml new car is not perfect too. many reported cases of scratches, marks ... and last heard got 1 door color is slightly off???
