Update 7/09/13:

So as if nothing more could go wrong in this nightmare, the drama continues. After speaking to the service manager last week to get an update on the engine that should have shipped last month on the 17th along with the issue with BMW and the customs of in Germany preventing items from entering the USA I thought the engine should have arrived by now, but I was wrong.

Today I called my service manager to find out that he has taken on another job within the company and a new service manager has taken his place. He was however up to speed on the issue but I don't think anything tops living it. I spoke to him about bringing in my suspension part (which was discussed with the previous manager) to have them installed while my truck was in the shop. He agreed and told me to bring them in and he would "take care of it" (at the agreed price of $500? not sure.) I told him I would bring them in on Wednesday but I paid a visit to them a day early since I was in the area and the first thing I noticed was that my car was no longer in the shop. After I spoke with the service manager (who looks like David Cross in a way) who seems to be very apologetic toward my situation I asked him where my car was. He then asked a service tech and the tech pointed to the end of the garage (outside).

After walking through the shop which had about 7 bays open I see me truck out side next to the wall of the garage. Now the first thing I notice was my flat tire on the right front tire, rim on the ground (that one stewed with me for a while) he will be looking into my tires and rims when the service manager gets back from vacation. The tech hooks it up to the battery charger to unlock my doors (because my battery is unhooked) he pops the hood and with out the engine, daymnm, that engine bay is HUGE!!

Now the estimated time of wait isn't till the end of July sometime. Bare-in-mind my truck has been in the shop since 4/2/2013 so that will make 4 months. The service manager did say that I "will be getting all kinds of goodies" and I "will come out of this smelling rosey". I will let all of you decide on that.
