BMW Lemon Law Information
What is a āLemon Vehicleā?
A lemon vehicle is one that is under warranty and has defects that the manufacturer is unwilling or unable to fix. While each state has its own set of lemon laws, generally lemon law states that if your vehicle has a substantial impairment to its safety, use, or value, and BMW cannot repair it in a reasonable number of repair attempts then you might be driving a BMW lemon.Ā When you purchase or lease a BMW, the manufacturer or its representative is responsible for upholding any express warranties it made. If you wind up with a lemon and the manufacturer wonāt repurchase, replace or compensate you, you will want to speak to a Lemon Law attorney about your legal options.

Can you sue if you bought a BMW lemon?
Have you taken your BMW for repair on multiple occasions? Are the problems still not fixed? If you answered yes to these questions, there is a good chance you can take legal action against the manufacturer to recover your losses. In order to be certain that you qualify, youāll want to speak directly to a Lemon Law attorney that will be knowledgeable with your stateās guidelines.
For instance, in California, you can only file a BMW Lemon Law suit if the following is true:
- Your car is still under the manufacturerās warranty. The defect or component that is malfunctioning is one thatās covered under the warranty.
- You purchased the car less than 18 months ago or the odometer reads less than 18,000 miles (whichever occurs first).
- Youāve notified the manufacturer in writing about the need for repair. (Save a copy of all correspondence).
- Youāve taken your car to repair the issue four or more times (two or more times if the issue is one that can lead to injury or death) or if your car has been out of service because of disrepair for at least 30 days.
If your car meets the specifications, you can recover the cost of the vehicle, the cost of any repairs youāve paid for, the sales tax on the car, licensing and registration fees, and your attorney fees. If you have a BMW lemon, youāll want to move forward quickly with pursuing your case so as not to overstep the time limits and to get out of your bum car lease or loan A.S.A.P.
