One thing I learned about windshield wippers on my e90, never lift up the wipper arm without any wipper blade on. Should the wipper arm retracks back toward the windshield with the exposed metal, you have a nice spider web decoration on your windshield. I did this very thing and someone pointed this out to me and saved me the free spider web decoration. A strong gust of wind could cause the wipper arm to retrack.
GL to OP.

Don't waste your time responding to wreckdm anymore.

Thank you Mr. 5 for a quick and decisive end to the troll's drivel. Good riddance.
Now, back on topic. Again, I'm interested in how this will be handled, as I'm sure many members know that the glass on our cars is rather fragile and very expensive to replace, on account of the rain sensor and what not. On a recent road trip to Las Vegas, I had a filthy pickup truck throw a rock into my windshield, instantly causing a penny-sized "bullet" crack. This was right before Grand Junction, Colorado, so I had to make a 1.5 hour detour to the nearest Wal-Mart to pick up some of that windshield repair resin to do some emergency repairs. On a side note, that stuff actually works pretty well. I've used it before on several different cars, and when done correctly, it seals up the damage pretty well and prevents the windshield from cracking further. Easy and cheap repair for your windshield.

FYI,
I would not go to Elmhurst BMW or Perillo BMW for service. My opinion is that Perillo is the worst in the Chicagoland area. Elmhurst just doesnt have the volume to be comptetive in the service area as other dealerships. I have had the best experience at Patrick BMW, Knauz BMW, and perhaps Fields (where I purchased my car). |

Hello Ryan,
This is Eugene you know the "biggest bastard you have ever seen" I just wanted to sign on to this forum and add a couple of details that you seem to have left out in your bashing of myself and my Center. The BMW you came to look at that night... 2007 BMW 335i Black sapphire terra/black leather premium package sports package paddle shifters auto transmission comfort access heated front seats navigation satellite radio ipod M body kit blacked out tail lights and a rear deck spoiler Had an MSRP of $49,870 and a invoice of $46,315 (before the body kit, spoiler, and blacked out lights which you retails for over $3000) As per my notes here Ryan, I was selling you the BMW for under $46,000 plus giving you the M body kit, rear deck spoiler, and blacked out tail lights for no additional charge. You decided to go for an 2008 and pay more money. Wether you like me or not next time when you post things on a forum please make sure you post all of the facts and not a one sided story. |

Stories like this is the reason why I ALWAYS do a walkthrough around my car with the SA before handing over the key to the car, and do the same thing when taking back the car. Dealer just screws up too much to trust them.

OT man. The point of this thread was that your dealership jacked up ChiTown's windshield and tried to blame him for it Why don't you get the SA or Service Manager come log on and defend themselves?

Ironically, I just scheduled an appointment to Elmhurst BMW today for 8am tomorrow. I decided to change service from Laurel BMW of Westmont because they did not fix my problems the first time around.
I'm going into Elmhurst for:
After hearing about all of these negative comments, not sure if I should find another dealer. Any recommendations? Or more specifically, a direct contact that will take care of my issues? Thanks all! |

The only reason I joined the forum and wanted to reply to the comments was I felt like the story was not completly presented. If someone called you "biggest bastard you have ever seen" would you not reply?

wish i could find a reputable place that really cares about the car as all of us enthusiasts do on this forum. they've gotta realize that problems ought to be fixed the first time around, i don't care how great the maintenance/warranty is if I gotta visit a dealership every 3 weeks. alright enough ranting |
