Alright guys I need your help and advice with this, I am facing an issue with AGMC and I am stuck, I don't know what else can be done.
Basically the story is I need to ship my 2007 E64 650i back to the UK since I don't live in Dubai anymore. After doing some research I have found out that my car comes with EURO 2 and in order to register the car in Europe, I need Euro 4. The European version of my car comes with Euro 4 as requested by the law but the Gulf Spec comes with Euro 2. So far, so good. The next step was to find out exactly what differs from the Euro and Gulf spec in terms of catalisor, DME software and obviously emissions so I can replace them. I have tried AGMC, BMW Middle East, spoken to supervisors, managers, etc basically wasted a whole week every day trying to get some sort of information from this people. No one was able to tell me what needs to be done to convert the car from Euro 2 to Euro 4.
I tried speaking to Michael, the supervisor from the service department at AGMC. He has promised me he would do anything he can in order to help me and tell me what steps need to be taken to convert the car. Of course after 2 days he called me saying AGMC cannot convert it to Euro 4 and they have no idea what parts needs to be replaced to convert it as they've never done this job before.
Now the manufacturer of my car, BMW, cannot tell me what needs to be replaced. Their solution is to take the car back to Europe and see what I can do there, which I think its ridiculous as It will be extremely expensive to ship the car and then realise the cost of converting it is ridiculously high.
I am asking myself, if they cant tell me what parts to change, WHO CAN ?
I have a week left in the country now and I need to get this sorted, I cannot ship my car without knowing exactly the cost of converting it.
So.. what so do guys advise me to do?
P.S : from my own research the car comes with catalisors and apparently the only problem is the DME software that can be reprogrammed to fit the Euro 4 specs, but of course AGMC cannot provide me with the coding required. I am even willing to replace the DME if I have to but when I asked AGMC to put it in writing that the DME is the only part that needs to be changed, they have refused saying they are not sure.
