Your message is typical of our experience with service at dealerships. I wonder if maybe we are going about this the wrong way. Maybe we should set up a process (a standard complaint form from the e31 boys) where each time we have a dealer complaint, we send it to the dealer and a copy to BMW USA. That way, they may take us more seriously. I think that just getting organized would send a strong message to the dealers that we are serious. I know that if some of my clients got together and composed a complaint form and used it, I would be embarrassed to the point of fixing the problem.
