I wish we had that luxury; one BMW dealership in town (next closest is in Omaha, 3 hours away) that appears to dislike selling parts over the counter. They treat you like second-class citizens, insist that you have the VIN for the vehicle even if you've got the exact part number in hand, then make you wait a couple of days because nothing is in stock, or so they say. Much easier to deal with Steve @ BluntTech, and he's sometimes even quicker than the stealer.

That sounds like something my wife would say!

I've heard that line far too many times from medical professionals in the last year.
