hhhmmm....PRC economy seems to be in a mess....real mess.. 

was listening to some reports and watching YT....but take it with a load of salt...so many videos' on car distributor there sinking and run road...and rows of shops all closed and deserted...

it seems the G there do not allow any of these news to be publish in their mainstream media...all "controlled"! 

No wonder I was reading about NODX exports and why the heck all the other countries exports are all -ve and yet SG can be +ve....dun really make sense. 

closer to home....i was reading up on the housing bubble...the scary part is now with a stroke of a pen, if G "tighten" the rules in the housing market, it may cause a downfall as what china is experiencing....scary thots - just thinking if we face with china housing situation....cry liao :sick:

BYD is 100% will be around.

Ora has Great Wall Motor as parent. 
Aion (GAC), Maxus (SAIC) will be around.

Chery (Qi Rui) has Jaecoo/Omoda in Malaysia. They are pretty big as well.
Then Geely with it's L&C, Zeekr, Polestar etc. 

Xpeng i think has enough brand presence to do it's own thing for a time being. I'm a shareholder. 

 

Expand  

actually, Polestar is hemorrhaging. the sales volume is not enough while volvo is making decent gains. the one big giant that is next on the house of cards is Tata. Jag is under water while Land rover is still decent earnings, for the time being...

Posted in the Conti BMW thread but hope to get more advice here.

Long story short. My BMW225xe PHEV high voltage battery has residual capacity of 42% as measured by PML. Car is 5.5 years old and very low mileage. PML refused to replace battery under warranty because OBD did not flag battery fault even though battery severely degraded. BMW Asia is aware of this but is not helpful.

Anyone has experience with such severely degraded battery and managed to get battery replaced by AD? Any advice what I can do?

going to be tough to claim..even thou PML is one of the easiest AD to make warranty claim on their cars if you can prove that it has been service by them. What was the original warranty period? 3 yrs? 

that's why read the fine print when certain cars are marketed as warranty cover for batt for 10 yrs, my car dealer fren says no such thing leh...:grin:

make sure read and ask and make sure in black and white....:TT_TT:

Who's the AD for Xpeng? As long got 5yrs warranty with road side assist, why bother? Anything just go back to them..

Expand  

Don’t you know the SOP for local dealers? Hardly carry any parts. If warranty then apply to manufacture for the parts. In the meantime your car sits at the workshop waiting. 
then they say… sorry no courtesy car. 
warranty my foot. 100years warranty also I don’t want if I have to wait 1-2mths for warranty repair. 
of course if there is a courtesy car sure. Take as long as you want, while I  whack the courtesy car to bits!!!!

The problem lies with BMW Asia and not PML.

Write email to BMW Asia CEO.
