Known as a German manufacturer of luxury cars and motorcycles, BMW was originally founded to produce aircraft engines and stayed in business post World War I with the production of farm equipment and railway brakes. This multinational company is often referred to as a “beemer” or “bimmer” in English. Their image as a world-class brand means that they produce a high level of luxury cars and technology.
Despite the high price tag, the BMW vehicle is subject to issues. If after repair attempts without a reasonable resolution your vehicle is still faulty, it may be deemed a lemon. This would entitle the owner to potential protective measures under the Federal and California laws. Should you live in the Oakland Alameda County area of California, please contact our office to discuss your situation.
