Maybe it is pay back for them crashing my wife's car in port and not telling us, and then me forcing them to swap us for an undamaged Z4? Well, I will hope for the best. As I told my dealer, "just diagnose the problem and then we will discuss who pays for the repair." They, said "no." Good times.
I hate that mentality. Especially when it likely involves a known defective part. I had a knock down drag out fight with a Ford dealer regarding my Lightning launching spark plugs out of the heads. I ended up winning but it ended up costing me more to "win" than if I would have bought new heads and fixed it myself.
