QC I

Quality Certification I

Every new vehicle which arrives at the BMW center requires that a Quality Certification (QC I) be performed. The QC I is performed in two parts.

- Display Vehicle Check
- Delivery Check

Display Vehicle Check

The Display Vehicle Check is performed if the vehicle is to be stored on the centers lot or in the showroom. The vehicle is inspected for shipping damage and any detects that may not have been caught at the VPC (Vehicle Preparation Center).

- Complete the upper portion of the checklist and the box labeled 00 00 008 Display Vehicle Check-Technician.
- Remove the top copy of the checklist and attach it to the repair order.

The remaining portion of the checklist should be leff in the vehicle or put into the vehicle sales file.

Delivery Check

The Delivery Check is performed no more than 24 hours prior to the customer taking delivery of the vehicle. The purpose of the Delivery check is to ensure that no damage or system problems have appeared since the vehicle was first checked at arrival to the center. The BMW center must deliver a vehicle to the customer free of any defects at time of delivern this is difficult to ensure if the vehicle has not been inspected for several days or weeks.

Vehicles that are sold before arrival to the center or to be put into service as Loaner Cars may have both parts of the QC I performed together, this is referred to as a Spot Delivery. In this case the vehicle will not be sitting on the lot more than 24 hours before delivery.

Always refer to the latest Service Information for special instructions and warranty information that is necessary to properly perform a QC I.
