It has not.
He stated that the service history looked good, but the previous owner missed the 1200 mile service and the 40,000 mile service. Really feels to me that they are grasping at straws!!
I definitely think I got their attention by asking for full documentation and indicated to them that I won't roll over and have lawyered up just in case.
Happy New Year!! I appreciate the help from this community
They are trying to f*ck you hard If the had the balls to claim a Mahle filter is aftermarket. That is who makes the OE filters for the S63TU, the only difference is the M logo silkscreened on it and double the price (M tax is real). I would call them out on that BS, put them on the spot why the lied about the filter. Dealer makes much more if they get you to pay out of pocket vs billing BMWNA for warranty work they have to wait to get reimbursement for so motivation is high to screw you. I would be very suspect of this dealer, they sound like shady asshats.
