I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not. I would assume anytime you park a trailer with your car on it in front of a business speaking poorly about their service, they are going to fix it. The small amount it will cost them to fix this compared to the amount of business they would lose wouldn’t be worth it.

I fixed it awhile ago, BMW paid for part of the repair. Those wheels are definitely not OEM, LOL.

If that is the case, I retract my statement.

I’m not in market (laughs then cries on the inside) but besides the work you did on the car Goff, how did it look? Would anything inparticular keep you away from it?

It’s a decent car, really. Those wheels had a vibration when I drove it after the repair, but if the OEM ones are included that would be a simple fix. Plus those wheels don’t look very good in my opinion. I did notice the EDC (electronic dampening control) warning lamp was on. I didn’t dig into it very far as it wasn’t a complaint from him but he did have plans to bring it in this spring for me to look at it, guess he just wants to get rid of it instead.

It’s an SMG car though, and I absolutely hate SMG. Gotta have a 6 speed, DCT is much much better though. I’m not really a fan of these cars myself. They aren’t really all that quick and not all that good looking. The new M6 however is just insane.
