Too bad for me

So...

BMW Canada called me to tell me that basically all they will do is fix my car at their authorized repair facility.

They have had my car for a month, I still do not have it back, so who knows what it will look like?

My attorney has suggested gathering evidence suggesting lack of due care, and / or negligence and file in small claims court, as it will give the dealer and BMW less opportunity to bury me in fillings.

I have always bought used cars, taking my time to pick one that someone has taken excellent care of and as a result have saved a lot from buying new. I have owned 27 cars in my life, and only 6 of them have been new.

I have also gravitated to independent service. This is my 2nd BMW, I have owned Porsches in the past and have had good luck buying used and taking care of service myself, or at an independent mechanic. My garage actually has a pit!

I am going to see a 2010 GT3 next week.

I think the key to having a successful automotive experience is to avoid dealers at all cost.
