I have a client, super cool guy. He has had a bunch of tuned BMW's over the years . He is mostly DIY, so I usually only do state inspections for him .
A few years back, he bought an X 5 diesel from Carvana. About one month into his ownership, the trans went out of it .
It took him months of fighting with Carvana, but eventually , they paid ( or so they told him ) for a brand new transmission from BMW . It was supposedly a $10.5 k bill .
Fast forward to right before X mas, he lost all his trans fluid. Like spectacularly , complete fluid loss in a few hundred feet . The truck ceased to produce any forward or rearward movement , so he had it towed to me . He showed me pictures of the giant oil slick he left all over the pavement
We were both hopeful that the trans cooler , or lines had failed, but once I pulled the under trays off, I could see that the fluid was coming from the pump/convertor area .
After a few weeks of fighting with BMW and Carvana, they both told him to pound sand, it was no longer under warranty .
Today, I pulled the transmission and to my surprise, it was not a new unit, but a used trans from a salvage yard . The yards name and mileage was marked on the top of the bellhousing in that grease paint pen that all salvage yards lie about mileage with .
So who would you guys suspect to be the liar here ? '
My guess is Carvana.
