I did the penny trick yesterday morning...it works!
Yesterday evening got a call from Nissan, "your part is in."
Today I went to pick up the part, the service manager said, "are you going to leave your car or wait?" I replied, "What?!?!?!?!?!" His reply, "since it's under warranty a tech must replace it and it has to go through the proper paperwork." My reply, "can't you just give me the part?" His reply, "no."
I then smiled, walked out to my car, pushed the start button, and left. I'll pay the $100 for the spring lifts before waiting 2 hours for a job that can be done in less than 3 minutes. Of course the service manager was being an ***, but he helped with my decision on never purchasing another Nissan.
I've always wanted an M3, so yeah...I'll be talking with the asses at BMW next!
