How about the “journalist” who wrote this article without reading the claim?

That’s just par for the course these days
How much do you want to bet BMWFS just settles out of court on this?
I’m not sure they can. If they settle, that opens the door for all past leasees who feel they had equity, and changes the rules of leasing going forward.

It’s a blog no one’s ever heard of. That’s like 4 notches below Jalopnik.

There’s nothing below jalopnik. Ransom notes are more thoroughly researched and edited.

Blog says he wrecked the car on Valentine’s day. I’m more interested in hearing if he was rushing around to find a last minute gift, or trying to pick her up to get laid.

Speaking of Jalopnik and Delica, I remember when Mitsubishi was cool.
What’s the chances Mitsubishi still has a tech anywhere in the US that knows how to work on these?
Dude probably got paid 50 bucks for the article. I’d call him a freelance aggregator.
This lawyer is a joke. He went to an unaccredited for profit law school that has a bar passage rate of under 10%.
He also already seems to have sued BMW with a family member as the named plaintiff.

Oh gosh… so this comment made me go read that other older suit, and it turns out this new one is a blatant cut and paste job… 
Also, here’s the M5 in question (it is indeed an M5):
BMWNA also has the arbitration clause and could take this out of the public domain for now if they wanted to, though a loss there could be devastating for them. Interesting situation.

The link to the prior suit shows that BMW has filed a motion to compel arbitration. I suspect they will do so for the new case also.

If they could they certainly would.
A settlement would be private. Only an appeal creates legal precedent that can be cited in other law suits. That’s what I understand.
sure. But cave to one and settle out of court and the floodgates open.
