I did something similar to this at Pocono Raceway. It is an event sponsored by your dealership and bmwna so I believe you need to be invited in order to attend. It is definitely worth going to. You get to flog on someone else's M car around the track and really push them. Lots of fun.

We have a saying about salt, wounds and putting these two together to inflict pain in Finnish!

Next time Greg, or on a milk run. Apparently I'm addicted to my traditional getaways! I'll show up demanding coffee one of these days. o

I'll send you the drumset my wife bought my son for his birthday, and then you tell me whose idea was worse.

Sorry Greg... we're doing it again. To keep this on topic... I did a short write up of the event I attended back in July. Reading it again, I realize I didn't say much... but whatever. On topic!

Happy to help if you need it. The service advisor I deal with is female there and I know her well. I am sure she would take good care of you.

I wrote you a long answer, but my phone ate it. Here is the short version.

Peter has a bad oil measuring thingy (yes, correct technical term as you see), he keeps insisting he's running low. That plus my not according to the system wearing seat belt is annoying as hell. I'm no mechanic and certainly not on this language, but oil is kind of one of the things even I know is needed not to blow up my poor boy toy.

He is not giving out any error data, so nothing is to be done according to two dealers, one of them never even read the computer I'm sure. The thing that now bugs the shit out of me, is that he takes a sharp left every time (well often anyway) when braking. This has started to mess with my quality time with coffee, I can not enjoy my cup while approaching lights as I used to, now I'm stuck holding the wheel steady.

I could take my husband to handle this with me, but for two reasons this is not an option.

1. He knows absolutely nothing about cars. He rides a bicycle, and he has no interest in these.

2. I've dealt with contractors, electricians, hell, I've renovated two houses, went to the army and lived through the shit that women there get, I made the midwife who wanted to hand out bad tips about child care cry when she tried to bully me, I have lived with my mother for 18 years and survived mostly sane, I have a Jack Russell that I only dream of killing twice a day, and most of all, I bloody hell have dealt with life because I can. IF I would go to him to ask him to come to service a car with me, he would howl and laugh till the end of his life which would be shortened by me at that point, since I have never, ever have had to ask a man do something this simple in my behalf.

I'm going to hire an actor if needed, but sure as hell will I ever give him the joy of getting a smug look on his face because Anna had her first I'm just a girl moment in her life.

Yes, a rant, but shorter than the original.

Well let me know how I can help, happy to take you down to Seattle and introduce you around and see if they can help you. Seatbelt and brake pull seems an easy fix. If you want you can PM me and ill give you email and number and we can set something up.

Agree, I've purchased and serviced 4 new cars from them and their service is A+. If you are dissatisfied with a job just ask to speak with the service manager. He's really good and will make sure they address your issues. The brake pull is a safety issue and should be addressed ASAP.

Yes, I agree, coffee is not the only problem there. I had to get the right words out of my car stuff translator and I will go to the dealership you guys mentioned. All in all, Thanks dudes, you have been most helpful as usual.
