Um... So ... my car is being maintained... for free... dem rich getting richer.

I mentioned the faulty suspension... figured they wouldn't find shit... however they found a fault with a front right sensor... which means another day of 430i :aintcare:

Wonder how much that will cost. Electronical dampers sound great in theory, but sound like a handful to maintain after the car starts to literally fall apart at 50k miles.

They're not real performance cars until you get into the M range.

That being said, it's a good balance between 328 spec and M spec for DD purposes.
Agreed, and well said. After owning for a week now the 340 is perfect for me. A dad, who wants to drive a bad ass car but needs 4 doors, and an economically sound vehicle to sell to my family. :math:

Ultimate service recap.

I called SA at 11.30 and left a VM hoping to pick up the car after lunch... No call back
Called SA at 1pm didn't leave VM no call back
Called Main Line at 2.15 pm... on hold for 5 min... transferred to SA didn't pick up
Called Main line at 2.20pm on hold for 5 min ... transferred to random dude... on hold for 5 min... transferred to SA who PICKED UP. Told me it'll be another "couple of hrs". I told em I'll pick up the car tomorrow instead.
4 fucking phone calls... to get a status on the car. and 30 min of my life I won't get back.

:disgust: BMW is just too pedestrian here. Way too many :amir: 's

Week before last I dropped my :turboyaris: off for some work. Got there at 8:00. Picked up loaner and drove to work. Got a text at 10:30 to tell me my car was ready.

I was always impressed by how fast VW would fix things. Not impressed that they didn't actually fix the issue but that's a separate problem.

More ultimate service fuckery.
Get there at 10am to pick up car ... talk to 2 people... 15 min to drop off loaner
Ask to wait for my car to be pulled up :butwhy:
15min later no car...
I talk to the guy like “dude, where is my car”
He goes sorry sorry sorry sorry asks some pimple faced dude that looks like he works behind the counter at Krustys...
10min later ... car arrives and gets hard parked

45min to pick up a car... without driving there. All in all I think I spent 3-4 hrs between driving there and picking up and dropping off the car and calling to find out what is going on.

I could have done the same thing in 1 hr at home.

On a side note I think my rear tires are close to being Toast ... 3/32 is what they are claiming ... I got another 5k miles to go so that’s not gonna happen... gotta find a used set somewhere

Im amazed at what I read now for dealing with US dealers. The last one I had was my Audi dealer in LA and I never has this BS. I certainly have not had this type of experience here....ever. The average dealer here is smaller and that probably helps and the experience is much more personal. Im sorry you had this....

They are expanding almost every dealer here ...
this one has about 400+ cars in inventory, just to give you a sense of scale

Wow. $5200 and the car looks worse than a work truck spec F150. Let's paint it FLAT BLACK so it looks like it's made of plastic. Great idea.

Picking your car up should take 5 mins tops. Walk in, pay, get your keys, go out to where it's staged at the pick up spots and you're good.

another :wtf: moment... they claim my rears are at 3/32 I looked at them... and no fking way... they are still above the wear bars. Easily at 5/32nd however these tires are a bit odd where they have grooves of different depths throughout the thread so it is difficult to measure accurately.
