BMW did make some drastic changes for 2016, but my two cars are under the old plan still.

Think it's also important for car owners to do a little research before or during a service trip. If someone isn't smart enough to realize what is happening with such expensive cars, this is why it's so easy for a shady dealership to fleece them.

A bad SA tried some crap when my wife took in her X3 for an oil change last year. Gave her crap about the tires. I'd already told her that I would get a new set when they wore out in about 8 more months.

Dude said they were dangerous, ect. I told her to hand the phone to him, I then preceded to tear into the guy. Don't ever say anything to try to scare my wife. I know cars, know tires with an obsession; even measured the tread before sending her there. Also let him know that the survey would reflect his behavior and that I would check the car once she was home, and if anything were not up to par, he'd see me in person; which would not end well.

Needless to say, no other problems and I also changed advisors to a great young man who sees eye to eye with me. He gets all 5's for both car visits.
