Client care is not only about helping the customer in ordering/specifying a BMW car and offering a cup of coffee during maintenance, but also some leniency/indulgency when that same client faces adverse situations re the sold commodity, even in case of a borderline situation.

In good times and in bad times, otherwise it's only human that people part ways and move over, with a bad taste in their mouth, to the competition.

Reliability is not only appreciated re car parts, but also re human relationships and reputation.

Just my 2 cents.
Great post Artemis, 100% agree with all. That's the reason why 1M might be my last BMW, other than the car itself everything about the experience was full of issues and frustration, simply tiresome.
