    This is exactly why I do all the work on my cars. I've been to that dealer and can't stand them. Why is it that every bmw dealer you go to, the sales people and parts people think they are god and what they say goes. Heard so many horror stories of dealers hot rodding around in customers cars. Never understood that. That M5 is pushing 500hp and it was probably a tech that just started or never drove one. Never ever take to dealer!!

    Pretty sure this is a repost, but I hadn't kept up with it in quite some time, and it's good to re-inform people who were unaware.

    I'm really shocked at the latest turn of events.

    Interesting story. Had to give up reading after 5 of the 90 odd pages.
    Was there an outcome?

    The OP filed a lawsuit. Can't believe the dealer wouldn't try to find resolution.
