Wow, sweet car! If it had the special Alpina rims, EACH ONE of those rims costs $4200. It's a beast. There's a reason BMW doesn't bring the B5 and B6 to the U.S., it's because they are faster than the M5 and M6!

This guy only had a few thousand miles on the car and already curbed two wheels and had a bubble in one tire. Wheels are pretty crazy too. To get to the lug nuts you press the "P" in Alpina and the emblem swivels out of the way to reveal a key that you need to take the center cap off. Then you can access the lug nuts.

question #1: what do you consider "great money"
question #2: service writers basically do scheduling?

uhh no service advisers don't "basically just do scheduling" we deal with the retard customers so the techs don't have to, find out whats wrong with their vehicle, put it into the computer to give the techs a general idea of what to look for on the vehicle, loners, manage time, etc.
