This story is on like 4 or 5 other forums too. News is spreading fast! Won't be surprised if this dealer goes in the tank.

This is another reason why I love forums...telling of bad service, overpriced parts, etc spreads like wildfire. All it takes is one idiot, and this will probably cause a fair amount of damage. I haven't read the m5board post lately, but I wonder if this is going to make it to the local news as well.

There are 479 replies and 193k+ views and counting. I don't have time to read all that.

Exactly...I just wanted to see the page with the pics again, but it's getting so long now.

A few back down here in Australia a dealer tech crashed a Mclaren F1 Supercar and caused $500k worth of damage. The car had to be shipped back to the UK for repair.

Like all of you, I don't have time or the desire to read the whole story on the M5 board. But my question is, has anyone disclosed the name of the dealership yet? ..........Phil

What's with the urge of most Americans to sue the dealership for lots of $$$ ? Yes, they f.cked up and should own up to their mistake and give the guy a new M5. No questions about that. Second thing would be to get the ass manager who lied and any others involved in the lie fired.

But what good does it do to sue them? You, the customer, will be paying the lawyers bill and all other costs involved.

Agreed. I would attribute this reaction to our innate desire to not only hold those parties responsible for their mistakes, but to punish them.

I totally understand that. But getting the persons involved and make them loosing their jobs is punishment to me. Add on the over-compensation by replacing the car for a new one (from a 2007 to new) would be nothing more than fare.

I think it's greed, or the "now its my turn to cash in" attitude that drives these lawsuits. Feed by the excessive steeling that's going on in corporate America.

I disagree with the sue their a$$ of attitude, but totally understand. But I guess we are getting a bit off topic.:confused:

If the stealer does not own up to their mistakes and give the owner a new M5, what do you do next? Of course you will sue them. This stealer has lied, and they have expressed no desire to give the owner a new M5. The tech, service manager and general manager should all be fired, however, it doesn't buy the owner a new M5, does it? So you must sue for your legal rights. This is NOT about greed!!! Put yourself in the poor guys shoes, what would have done differently?
