BMW and MINI move to Laughlin and De Gannes
GERMAN-BASED car company Bavarian Motor Works (BMW) and MINI Cooper has found a new home in TT after signing an agreement earlier this week with LAFAST Motors, a division of Laughlin and De Gannes.

In a release sent to the media on Wednesday, LAFAST and ATL Automotive Group, the regional master dealer of BMW and MINI, announced LAFAST Motors will be taking direct control of the sales and after sales services of the two popular car brands.

The car companies will be moving to LAFAST from former dealer, Ansa McAl, in December.

“This an exciting moment for BMW and MINI in Trinidad and Tobago and we’re delighted to finally confirm this appointment. In LAFAST Motors, we have found a partner who, like us, is committed to driving these two market-leading brands to the next level in terms of sales, service and exceptional customer service, something that has underpinned the company for the last seven decades,” said Adam Stewart chief executive officer and deputy chairman of ATL Automotive.

The company said the change will see the building of two “state-of-the-art” sales and service facilities in Port of Spain and San Fernando, and ATL and Ansa McAl will be working together closely to ensure a smooth transition.

“Our commitment is to build a team considered to be the ‘best in class’and our mission will be to provide our customers with premium affordability for one of the most prestigious brands in the market,” said directors of LAFAST Motors, Greig Laughlin, Mark Laughlin and Gregory Farah.

The company says existing BMW and MINI customers will have their service-inclusive packages and new car warranties continued to be fully honoured by BMW and MINI.

So just a heads up for anyone that owns a Bimmer X5 diesel, theres a whisper in the air that under the new dealership that they will not be bringing any more of the problematic X5 diesels, and they will not be supporting them either, so for all you owners of recently purchased diesel x5- suck salt for service and parts ability soon.
We will supposedly see more of the hybrids making its way to our shores.
But what the heck do I know - have fun with your expensive suv's …………….

[MaxPower]

^ yep, salt for those who ketching they ass to buy a Bimmer to look rich....they will need prayers to get it sell and take years to pay off the loan and end up buying a Tiida.

Real millionaires will simply either park it up, bring in their own parts or just buy another bmw.

[ismithx]

so my potential plan to buy an older e-series should be unaffected right?

Problematic in what way?

A used BMW X5 diesel for me is not worth the resale value of an old washer and dryer that I have outside in the yard waiting for the scrap iron ole' battery man to take off my hands this Saturday for $20.00 TTD. Some vehicles with diesel engines are to stay far from and that list includes Cayenne, Q7, Touareg, Sportage, Tucson, Santa Fe, Sorento and Craptiva etc..

[rspann]

I know a lot of BMW diesel owners who never had problems because they did proper maintenance . Some bought second and third hand and got vehicles that had serious issues. I have an X6 that never gave any issues and beside servicing I did the DPF regeneration only once. I've heard complaints about the new X5 but not sure what the issues are. I heard about engine failure , transmission failure and problems caused by poor fuel.I'm not sure if it's anecdotal since others swear they have no problems. Mine is at 800 miles ,so I guess I'll have to wait and see.

[pugboy]

I know a q7 owner who had plenty problems with the engine
Last straw was when the tranny went, he literally give it away after

[rspann]

Yeah Q7 had issues with cold starting, but it was an easy fix. Never heard about the transmission problem , but it could have been a mechatronic problem. The thing is , when people buy them who were not prepared for the expense, they let them go downhill while avoiding spending money on needed repairs. If you don't have a good mechanic and a source of parts ,you will have real problems. The new Q7 has the 2.0 tfsi engine that's in the A4 and A5. the whole body is aluminum so the smaller engine pulls the weight good.
