Hell no

Even when I told them not to wash, they did anyways resulting in swirls and deep scratches.

Drove it back, even got worse because of the buffer trails, chips came off paint from the polisher, and they heavy oily glaze installed afterwards.

They continuously refused to take it to my preferred detailer stating it is 3x the price they pay their dealership detailer.

Ended up settling by sending the vehicle to an auto body shop for exotics to repair the paint chips and burns from the polisher machine.

It was a tough 1 month battle that was not worth my time.

funny no one here routinely has the dealer wash their car.

but funny enough the line at the dealership is stacked... i guess we know now the crowd on bimmerpost is skewed.

Nope! Just bought some equipment off of autogeek to do the proper detailing myself. Dealer wash is well intentioned, but a joke for enthusiasts like ourselves.

I am thinking of stopping the washing portion of the service since they may do a bad job, which is a costly problem to fix.

Interior I feel they cant really mess up too much on.

what are your thoughts?
I never or will never let them clean my car. The only thing I let them do is vacuum my carpets.

What are you guys doing to figure your sizes? Are you doing the same? I have always been iffy about adding in my assumed static fuel pressure under boost. However, if I take that out of the equation (1.3), it's a very small change that doesn't really affect how much bigger my injectors should be. Now if I were using a fuel pressure regulator beyond a 1:1 ratio reading, say a 6:1, then I can see factoring this in.
