What an M9 owner was quoted to pay, 2014–2026: the CCD price ladder in one table (alleged)

DE: Was M9-Besitzern für den CCD-Tausch genannt wurde – 2014 kostenlos, 2017 rund €982, ab Dezember 2018 €1303 + MwSt., ab 2020 „nicht ersetzbar“, danach Upgrade-Preise oder Drittanbieter-Glas. Keine neuen Tatsachen; Behauptung, keine Feststellung.

This note adds no new facts. Earlier updates covered each price step on its own; this one puts every amount the archive already records into a single table, oldest first, so the sequence can be read in one pass. Each row links to the journal entry or case page that holds the original source, and to the dated note that discussed it.

What the table shows

As alleged, the price an owner faced moved in one direction: from free (2014), to a dated contribution (2017), to a higher one (2018), to no official repair at any price (2020), after which the options on record are a newer camera at programme prices or a third-party glass repair outside Wetzlar (promises vs delivery, timeline). Amounts are those reported publicly or quoted in correspondence; none of them is presented here as a payment made.

The open questions sit between the rows. Q1 asks how “regardless of age” became a timed fee; Q9 asks why estimates were still being issued in August 2019 and June 2020 if, as later stated, CCD production had stopped in October 2019 (questions page).

Open line as of 2026-10-28: no numbered point-by-point written reply to Q1–Q12 is on file. A company letter dated 2 October 2026 is on file; the consumer disputes its closure of the matter (2026-10-03 update). Allegations and unanswered questions only, not a court finding.
