can you even change the oil yourself in the BMW? or do you need special dealership tools? lol

Nice cars, but expensive to maintain
BMW quoted me 200+ just to replace a daytime running light. It's absurd.

you can change the oil but it can be a pain in the ass. Without a lift, I can change the oil in my hondas in about 15 minutes including drainage time. on my buddy's M3, more like an hour to do it right, lol.

Update: no more oil leak, getting better gas milage after timing belt and valve adjustment. Power steering pump still leaking but not too bad I will rebuild it myself. Dealer scratched my front bumper I will be going back today.

You better hope they take the blame lol...Unless they tell you anyone could've done that when you parked your car.

They painted the bumper, overall happy with the service car running good. I still wish I did it myself to save $. They recommend carbon clean up.
