My Ride: Jet Black 545i
LOL, I'll try the e-brake thing @ night in an empty parking lot. Tried it lots of times in Gran Turismo 4. 
Here's an update. I knew the BMW service would suck ass here in Tallahassee, didn't expect any more.
This all came by phone so I forgot to ask a few things.
1. No word on the leather seats. Forgot to ask when on phone.. crap
2. Aux input - can't be done according to the "master tech". Not available for my car. What BS..
3. Door seals - they placed some carboflo or whatever bs. No new seals.
4. Specks on headlights (pits in lens of headlights) they said they will try to get me a replacement (both sets).
5. The computer is still upgrading as we speak, so can't pick up car till tomorrow.
6. Supposedly fixed.
7. Said they'd replace the brackets.
8. Complained about the Dunlops and they said they already ordered a set! Best news I've heard so far.
Why do small town dealerships always suck?

If my dealer tried to give me a loaner that isn't a BMW>... I'd tell them to go get my car back.... and don't DARE waste my time like that again. Call me when they can schedule an appointment and give me a BMW loaner.
Lucky for me.... that sort of thing only happened once to me, at a Lexus dealer.

Update guys. Service blamed the specks on headlights on road debris. Yea no chips on my bumper but tones on headlights.. makes sense. Ohh well I'll try again next week.
Aux install now scheduled!! YEA!

Brand new Dunlops coming next week. Both scheduled to be installed at the same time!
Plus, computer updated 100% I now have the birdview thing. They didn't say what the software revision is, but they did say they got the update disk from BMW 2 days ago. So that can't be bad!
Gave up the Hyundai at the Hertz dealership. I was so sorry to see her go...
