I have an appointment with BMW of Dllas tomorrow to get the software upgrade to version 16.2, replace door seals, new front rotors, and hopefully get new tires. I am not sure if BMW will replace the tires since i only have 2300 miles on the car.

How many of you have had your Dunlop replaced for free and your creaking door sealed fixed?
Thanks

[/quote]Superdad,
I had my Dunlops replaced by Classic BMW. Replaced them with new Bridgestones at No Charge. Took the car in at about 5000 miles. It took about 6 weeks for the Bridgestones to arrive, so Classic installed them around 7000 miles.
Love the Bridgestones.
Also, my rear drivers door creaked, and they cleaned and re-lubricated it and it hasn't come back.
I did have a faulty windshield wiper that would leave a streak when in use. They replaced that with a new one as well.
Good Luck!
Michael

[/quote]Thanks Michael! I bought my from BMW of Dallas, so I will take my back to that dealer and said Classic replaces the tires at no charge. Did you insist on replacing the door seals for a more permanent fix rather than re-lubricated?
Your car is almost exactly the same as mine, except I have SMG. Current Odo reading 8500 Miles.

Hi - I am a new owner of a 2004 530i purchased in CA and I am looking for a little help from you Dallas folks. I have head horror stories about getting good service from the dealers in the Dallas area and I wanted to get your opinion. Is there one dealer that actually stands out for service? I am in the North Carrollton area so I am not really close to any of the dealerships; service is the most import issue. Thanks - Hopefully this was not a hijack. - will add signature soon.

Welcome! I can only vouch for my experince with BMW of Dallas. While I would say that their SA's would get a "c" rating, if you go in armed the knowledge you gain on this board, the technicians are pretty good. I met the GM of Classic BMW by chance, and he offered to take care of me in the future. I have no personal experience with the dealership, but I was impressed with the GM and he and I had a long conversation. I think I am going to stick with BMW of Dallas for now, but these cars are so new that I think most dealerships are behind the knowledge curve.
