Here is the sad affair:

To make things worse BMW agreed to rush through a replacement car which was built 3 weeks ago, railed to Bremerhaven and sat at dockside since then. Their interpretation of "rush" !

If BMW was as good at building cars as you are with graphics I'd be naming the car Nectar.

Thanks for the chuckle.

OMG!!! I have to hope that your dealership is nowhere near me. I checked the Better Business Bureau rating for mine after reading your posts. They have a BBB which is not as good as I hoped but not as bad as I feared. Seems like a typical car manufacturer. Most of their cars are great but the bad ones are REALLY REALLY bad. I am very concerned about BMW's cavalier attitude, though. Well, mine is scheduled to come over on the Fedora and I should have it late October. I'll know soon. Good luck, Ian.
