| Message: | | Beware of Irvine BMW in SoCal, USA. My A/C was not cooling, I figured the freon was low. They came up with total BS reason, they had to pull my dash board out to fix the heater core. only $4500. When I said no, they managed to cut a $1000 off the bill. No!! In the process they recharged the a/c and now it is fine. A few months later, and nearing the end of my extended warrantee, I had a dash light bulb burn out. the others were fine. The same dealer said they had the replace the entire circuit board, only for $1200. I went to an independent BMW shop who said you NEVER pull a dashboard for a start, and replaced the burned out 89 cents bulb for $100 bucks. A once busy dealership, where I bought my 2002 X5 is now almost a ghost town. No wonder. What good is the extended warrantee I purchased if the dealership is so blantently
a rip off?
