Hi Casper77,
I agree it is up to the WS for a "Quick Fix"... Story of mine is common GB problem, solenoid need to change.. but the dealer ask the WS to just do an ATF change.. the WS refuse and insist on proper job to be done until BO PIAN the dealer do it for me.
It is the WS that make our ride so problematic and a lot of ppl thinks that BMW is a problematic car !
I Personnally think that we should start a list of BLACKLIST of WS that do unethical JOB and of cos with example like Casper77. This make every owner here know where to go and those blacklisted ws will not play play and chop chop us thinking that we are carrot !
Thumbs up for R2D !!

Well yes, but WS also have their profession, and reputation to upkeep.
I have no issues with any WS using FT, but their supervisor or manager should ensure QC before client car leaves the WS.
If they do quick fix and down the road, sometime happens, they are and should be liable. This is why several bros here is understandably furious, including myself after reading your brake calliper hanging loose thing.
That said, BMW.SG really rocks and glad you got all your issues ironed out.
Most if not all sponsors WS here also rocks! Not in cost though haha

Re: E90 smoke coming out of bonnet.....
Bros, the reason I don't mention names is that the invoice for the top overhaul was done in Mar 13. 6 mths down the road before the owner sold his ride to me, i told him to rectify the oil leak problem.. he claims that he brght it back to the same ws... true a not? I dont know... he might hve just bring it some where and get a quick fix cos he claims the ws rectify the leak FOC.
The only thing that pissed me off is after 1 week i took over the ride, i send back to the same ws for starter replacement they shld have notice the oil leak but i was not informed.
Morale of the whole story, go to our forum site sponsor ws instead of some hear say very good ws... site sponsor ws has to uphold their reputation in the forum therefore they wont take risk to GLUE your engine...

On the 2 test I mentioned - it's for NA rides. Turbo rides will get some pressure there only under boost ......
