What happened? Warranty claim denied because of mods?

Or another N20 failure where BMW tries to deny coverage?

Frank851 · 09-28-2017, 05:10 PM

Or the guy just found out a battery replacement requires dealer programming to replace the battery like in the X-5......

Lucky1 · 10-10-2017, 07:57 PM

Nah, he flipped out when he found out how long it would take for parts to come in for his Takata airbag recall.

I read crap like this, and I often wonder how it could ever get to the point in my life where I'm trading gunshots with police officers in the lot of a BMW dealership (or anywhere else for that matter). Seriously, how many incredibly awful life decisions do you have to make to get that point?

Speedy recovery to the officers involved, speedy end to the POS who shot them.

I heard about this from an old advisor friend of mine who works close to there, pretty terrible story to watch unfold.

on a joking note, I figured his GTS ran out of distilled water.

OMG, I used to work for Classic, they are super nice people. Can't believe this kind of thing happened, wish the officers recover soon.

A reliable source of mine confirmed:

Shooter tried to get BMW to pay for his chiro bills after his seatbelt arm extender failed to grab his seatbelt.

This is what happens when "tuning-bro" gets mad his warranty was denied.

I hope the officers shot recover.

My guess is he bought a used late model E9x M3 and the rod bearings failed within 500 miles of ownership.

OK, sometimes I DON'T miss living in Cleveland - even the elementary school kids there are packing. Total waste, hope the officers weren't hurt too badly, and that this POS gets the max sentence.

Perhaps it is just me, but I keep hoping that one of the items in tax reform is a massive bonus/deduction for LEO's and emergency responders, especially the volunteers. They don't do it for the money, but there is no way you can really pay somebody enough, or express enough gratitude that there are people willing to get in the way of this stuff for the good of the rest of us.

Best wishes for the cops; that's just a messed up situation
