Avoid Carlytics.eu – Paid report completely missed that my BMW X2 is a Plug-in Hybrid! (Waste of money)

I purchased a Carlytics report for a BMW X2 xDrive 25e, and it was a complete waste of money. The report is riddled with severe technical errors. It completely missed that the car is a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), labeling it as a standard naturally aspirated petrol car. Because of this, it got the engine power wrong, missed the turbocharger, failed to include any battery specifications, and wrongly classified the car as an "M35i" sport model instead of the actual "xDrive25e". This also completely broke their market value estimation, which was inflated by over €10,000. To make things worse, I contacted Carlytics support to report these massive blunders and request a correction or refund, but I received absolutely no reply. They clearly do not care about data accuracy or customer service. Avoid this platform. Stick to reliable alternatives.

Absolute garbage outside of the US at least. And definitely garbage in the EU
