So let's summarize this shall we:
The first models where hidden R&D with loads of issues, 2014 - 2017 is the sweet spot, 2018 onward is a dog's breakfast look wise, reliability is a gamble, information about ownership is at best incomplete or doesn't exist and finally the factory sells options that are maybe not compliant in the markets they are destined to. There's still the mystery of Facelifted LHD EU4 M3W available for sale brand new in dealers all over Europe - if they're not suppose to be sold that way why are they all on display.
I've funneled this request all the way to upper management - They've been nothing less than amazing so far. Worst case scenario here is having to sell the car when I (and If) i head back to Europe and If i have to clock 20.000km on that machine before bringing it back - well this wouldn't be the worst thing i'd have to do.
I've also contacted all the dealers in France, Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg who are selling new 2019 LHD EU4 M3W with EU3 facelift to ask:
1. If the vehicle is delivered from factory with a COFC with a EU3 appearance pack and if there is any issues for resell
This should clear up things
