This is just a friendly reminder that this board software has an "ignore" feature that you can find under "my controls".

It works quite well, I might add...

I find it quite amusing to read - gives me a good laugh. That's why I don't ignore him or somebody else who is giving me the same good laughs with his trollingish posts...

Maybe, when people like 2004rtype realize we find him funny rather then serious, they will stop, or, we could play with him and have fun with them and string them along.

I'm not either. That doesn't mean reading his posts aren't getting a bit old...

Sometimes u just need to vent, I sure as hell did on the m3board when my car hit the shop for the 17th time.

Howevere I would say that my 545 SMG Sport is a pleaseure to drive. I dont see any other car even coming close to it. I test drove the acura tl, e500, audi a8 and a4, cts-v and just didnt get anything out of it. BMW is just doing it right for me with the technology the are pushing.

By the way the orignator of this thread has a point at how horrible the roadside asst and service can be with this car. Benz certainly knows how to handle their customers.

I am glad that they include roadside assistance as standard, but my one experience with roadside assistance is sub-optimal also. My wife drained the battery on her X5 and couldn't start it. BMW roadside assistance didn't know how to jump the car, and broke the back tailgate trying to get to the battery.
