My point is that if I need a battery in a Honda, it costs $120 at AutoZone and they install it for free. Doesn't cost $350 and need $200 of ridiculous reprogramming and a scope. Im also pissed that the battery died because the repair they did to the alternator under recall broke and killed it due to not getting any charge at all. Since it's a diesel, I had no clue I wasn't getting power until all the electronics went out with no warning. Their excuse when I wanted the battery replaced for free - ah it's 4 years old anyway so you should be happy it lasted this long.........That is piss poor customer service and Im drafting a letter to corporate as we speak.
Same with oil changes and not needing sensor resets. Some of this may be my amateurishness in maintaining a BMW since it's my first one but this type of gauging is ridiculous.
I get these are higher performance vehicles, but still. A battery is a battery.
