Vehicle delivery delay
BMW

Bought a vehicle and BMW delayed the delivery? See what the CDC (Brazilian Consumer Protection Code) allows you to demand and how to file a complaint.

Updated on

What to do, step by step

  1. Gather the contract, the purchase order, the proposal, the payment receipts and the messages with the delivery deadline promised by BMW.

  2. Notify BMW in writing asking for a firm date and keep the protocol number.

  3. Offers and advertising bind whoever made them (arts. 30 and 35 of the CDC); if they are not honored, the consumer may demand delivery, accept another equivalent product or withdraw from the purchase with a refund of the amounts paid, without prejudice to damages.

  4. If the deadline is still not met, file a complaint with Procon and on consumidor.gov.br.

  5. Avoid signing a termination agreement (distrato) or amendments without carefully reading the penalty and refund clauses.

Frequently asked questions

Can the dealership change the delivery deadline?

The deadline stated in the offer or the contract binds the supplier. Changes must be clearly communicated and, as a rule, accepted by the consumer. Each case must be analyzed individually.

Can I cancel the purchase because of the delay?

Where an offer is not honored, the CDC provides for the possibility of terminating the contract and receiving back what was paid, with damages when proven (art. 35).

What if I have already paid a deposit or down payment?

Keep the receipts and ask BMW in writing for its position on the deadline. Refunds and any amounts retained depend on the contract and on the analysis of the case.

What are the official customer service channels of BMW?

Official channels of BMW: Official website: bmw.com.br; Customer service (SAC): 0800 707 3578. Write down the protocol number of every contact and, if the problem persists, file a complaint with Procon.
