BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) - View Single Post - I think the dealer may have hooned my car

I dropped my car off at the dealership this AM with complaints of a squeal coming from one of the front wheels/brakes, and another sound coming from the rear exhaust.

When I picked it up... 3 hours after receiving a call that it was ready... It took the valet 10 minute to bring the car up. The temp was already close to 210, and the MPGs had dropped to a staggering 12.2 MPG, and the mileage was also up by 12 miles.

Am I right to be suspicious, or could this have been the result of the car running but not moving for an extended period of time? It was on the drive for roughly 20 minutes while I was waiting to drop off and take a loaner. I also reset the MPGs yesterday evening.

Anyway, I'd love some feedback. Happy to share more details as needed. Thanks!
