Question - Settlement for Totaled 2019 BMW 330i

[DjMx]

Hi All,

I need some help. I totaled my BMW (not at fault) and been dealing with the other person’s insurance (Gecio). So they set a settlement price of 42K and the pay out for the car is around 26K. When I got the lease I had MSDS of 2800 + 2000 down payment.

I was talking to Geico and they sent the requested settlement of the 42,800 to BMWFS and they accepted the whole settlement. But I heard that I may get the overages. BMW isn’t telling me anything and keeps saying they don’t know. IF the payout for the car is 26K why is BMW wanting 42K? Shouldn’t I be getting the difference?

Can someone please help? I’m so upset and don’t know what to do.

Your payoff is for you to purchase the vehicle. Someone else’s insurance is not you. Their insurance’s responsibility is to reimburse bmwfs for the market value of their asset.

Sorry for the crash. Hopefully you were not seriously injured. This has been discussed at length in similar posts regarding BMWFS. Just search forum.

My leased 2019 X4 was totaled in a garbage fire. I had extremely low mileage so the insurance company gave a pretty good settlement offer, which is at $13k over the current buyout amount. Now BMW is telling me that I can’t get a penny of the equity. The total loss department kept saying that ‘hey you don’t own the car you don’t get the money’. BUT I was the one negotiating with the insurance company to get a better settlement offer. The equity was partly due to the market, also definitely due to…

You should get your MSDs returned to you. Sorry for your loss, hopefully nobody was hurt.
