No doubt the V1 is one of the best radar detectors on the market. Too bad law enforcement is now transitioning to laser. If you are rocking your V1 speeding with confidence and get hit with a laser, you're shit out of luck.

While I wanna say I'll stay away from that because it's illegal. But I'll prob look into it
BMW manhattan. Now don't get me wrong. I think they let me get away with shit. With my car slammed and the other mods I did and not bitch about it. But at the same time. Everywhere got it's BS. I use to go to BMW Bayside. But I think they will void my warranty if I did go back.

So what these BMW repair center is really telling you:
We have no clue what the issue is but your silynoid looked dirty and we noticed some lines that were not BMW so we want to make sure we get our cut!
Never been a fan of dealers they seem to do least amount possible to get you in and out. More needless work and charges, higher profit margin.
On another note the V1 is amazing but as someone said with laser the game will change!
Good luck on your issue hope it all works out in the end!

I've had a few Infinitis, and Nissan NA generally takes care of customer concerns - even after the warranty expires!. Mercedes Benz gladly fixes anything you report(in warranty only), because they know their cars are junk(especially in the early 2000's/late Chrysler years). Even as completely crappy as my E series was, they fixed things that I didn't even report, because they dug around looking for problems when you brought your car in, especially if it was the 10th time that month. Anyone who had a Benz during the Chrysler years knows that. But, overall, I am rather disappointed in BMW factory/dealer service!

From what I was told there were warranty changes and how its conducted. This was told to me by my Dealer Mgt Dir after complaining about my taillight seperating inside the light. They qouted with parts and labor $1000.00. Told me it was caused by an external force. Not true, and if so, there would be some kind of marking on the outside lens. Bottom line is, the dealer replaces it under warranty, sends it to NA and there is someone there that decides if it is or not. If it is, all is ok, if not,they don't pay the dealer and they are out of the money. This is what was explained to me. They also said not even the curtiousy claim, now they try to get at least 50% from you...
So now that you have paid them for the solenoid repair and it's not fixed what's next?
