My Ride: Dinan 545i
On the commute home, my car decides to die yet again. So now I'm sitting here waiting for the towtruck and posting via my iPhone.
I think it's time to move the eff on - this is getting old...
Oh ya, I just got my car back from service last week - a few thousand dollars worth of work. So this is really pissing me off!

Sorry to hear that, man....
I know exactly what you're talking about - as far as (unexpected) repairs are concerned. Had plenty of those with my 2000 E46, before I picked up a (much less old) E60.
What exactly are you driving (version?), and how many miles do you have... if that's of any importance?
Not that I'm a mechanic.... but what do you think it is this time?
EDIT: just saw you're driving an 545i. Nice car though...

How many miles do you have on your car? That part should actually be irrelevant considering the stealership just worked on your car. Sounds like something major, whatever it is dont take it sitting down. Be adamant and demand that they resolve the issue, keep us updated. Best of luck with the problems.
