cool. as for the oil statement, i'd bet money that's complete baloney .
He didn't have time and he's more porsche and audi.
I took it to my friend's shop. A little bit further, but they do bmw racing in Europe. They know what they are doing. We had tested out a lot of things, such as spark plugs, infrared for over heating....I was there when we were doing the test.
Good times.
He also told me, instead of changing the engine oil every 5 thousand miles, you should change it every 3 thousand. BMW wants your engine to break down, because they have to sell engines.
I'll let you know more when they open the block.

My wife's brand new car (only has 10k miles on it) they dealer wanted to flush the engine because of carbon build up.
LOL are you kidding me? It's not covered by warranty either. So becareful with your car. Also the dealer is suppose to change your water pump around 65k miles. Some of them don't.

it's one thing for dealers to try and jack your money. it's a whole another thing when BMW HQ tries to jack you. anyways, keep us updated on your car.
it's not baloney.
