This one is closed, but our 60-second eligibility quiz finds the ones that are still open.
Who Was Eligible?
Who the settlement covered:
- You owned or leased a 2019 or 2020 BMW X3, X4, X5, X6, or X7 in the United States
- Your vehicle was equipped with a shark-fin antenna (standard on these models)
- You experienced issues with the shark-fin antenna and had it repaired or replaced, either at a BMW dealership or an independent repair shop
- You have a Class Member ID (typically mailed or emailed to eligible owners) and supporting repair records
- Both current owners/lessees and former owners/lessees who had qualifying repairs may be eligible
How Much Did It Pay?
The amount you can receive depends on where you had the repair done. If you took your BMW to an authorized BMW dealership for the shark-fin antenna repair, you may be reimbursed for 100% of what you paid. If you used an independent or non-dealer repair shop, you can be reimbursed up to $2,000 for qualifying out-of-pocket repair costs. In addition to the cash reimbursement, the settlement includes a warranty extension on the shark-fin antenna for vehicles that haven't yet had a failure — meaning you're also protected against future repair costs. Keep in mind that final payout amounts may depend on the documentation you submit, so hanging on to your repair receipts is important.How this claim was filed
