So after waiting 3 weeks for my appointment finally got my car in today. Thought I had a flat tire last night, while checking around found a severely torn CV boot. Thanks X5world for teaching me about this! If I hadnt looked then it most likely would have gone through today without anyone noticing. Yikes. So getting new axle (?) put on because of that. Its under warrenty so whatever.
Also got my breaks checked. Sure enough, new pads/rotors/fluid flush. I guess at 50K miles it was time.
Lastly, got my side blinker fixed. As suspected it was the socket that was messed up. Tack on that to the bill.
So in one day, I total $1,000 for this. Wow welcome to real BMW ownership. At least its going to work well now! ....or so I hope.
And lastly. This whole "loaner car" crap pisses me off. I drop off a nice X5 and leave with a really barebones Cobalt that smells like sweaty fat people. I had to call them back to figure out how to lock the doors. Turns out you just push the actual lock for each door? Strange..... The lady's response was, "We'll that makes you appreciate your BMW that much more when you get it back." I was at a loss for words.
