Still no response from the dealership. The car seems fine, but I'm still a bit nervous driving it. It did have a horrible metallic odor for the first week. I took it to the carwash and paid extra for the "undercarriage" spray. That seemed to help tons! I made my husband drive it for the first few days! Still no paperwork about the brake repair or what the "manufacturing error" was. I'm guessing that "Mario" at the dealership is in big trouble for telling me too much info over the phone. Counting days til lease expires....... thanks for the info on bmwna!!

ps. viperfreak2... how long should I have paid for a rental car myself while paying my lease at the same time?? I still have no paperwork, so I assume I'd still be paying double. Believe it or not, some people who like to drive nice (supposedly safe) automobiles are not rolling in dough! And yes, having all of my family far away in NC is not ideal during emergencies. We are new to new jersey and really could not think of 1 person who would drive over an hour to pick us up at a rest stop! I would never wish for anyone's family to experience the struggles of a child with cystic fibrosis. But one thing she has taught me is empathy for others in their times of need. We are thankful it all ended safely, but disappointed in our dealership's response and bmw assist (or lack there of).
