The Ultimate Driving Machine? I own a 1999 BMW 528i so I'm not a 'biased non BMW owner!' but!
The service I have received from dealers has been pathetic I'm used to the high standards of Audi, apart from finding faults that when pressed they were unable to confirm in writing they even stamped the service book as a mini!!!!managed to charge for servicing using fully synthetic oil and set the service interval to that for semi synthetic thereby charging me more and giving me 2/3 the duration i should have. This isnt a dodgy independant its a MAIN agent. Don't get me wrong I love my car but remember BMW and Scoda have one major thing in common-they both have had a car banned from sale within europe on safety grounds!! Talking out of my A**? try the Scoda Estelle in the UK and the original 5 series which gained rave reviews from the British press and was banned in Sweden! Hmmm something amiss there.
