If you get upset over lift springs, you better go get a Rx for Valium before buying a BMW. When I had my M3 - which I loved by the way - each dealer I took it to acted like I should feel privileged that they were willing to service my car. The problems were always minor ones, but what a hastle getting them taken care of. My favorite case in point (now kind of funny but at the time, not so much):
- Windshield wipers turn themselves on and will not turn themselves off. Call the dealer - "We need you to come in to verify." Ok, no problem. I'll bring it right in. "Oh no, not today, but we can get you in a week from next Tuesday."
- After more than a week spent having to work the wipers by popping the hood and pulling/replacing the fuse, I bring it in. Evidently it's a known issue and they don't even pop the hood. "Yep, they won't turn off. We'll order the part and call you."
- No call, but 10 days later I get a postcard telling me the part's in. Thanks for the extra few days delay it took for the mail to bring it. I call . . . "We can get you in a week from next Tuesday . . ."
All told more than a month of climbing out of the car and opening the hood to turn wipers on every time it rained, most of which would've been avoided if they would've ordered the part right away and got me in quickly when it arrived. Good luck with the BMW, and remember . . . they ARE doing you a favor by allowing you to buy one.
