Advantage Bmw MidTown
So these Bastards charged me 90.82 for a box of 7 Quarts of Oil and an Oil filter . I was a fool for paying it when i could've just order it from FCP Euro and just paid 72$ but it would've took too long for shipping . Any thoughts on this OutRageous price guys ?

You are surprised that BMW dealerships charge alot ? lol
I was charged 130 dollars to remove 4 lug nuts with a special key that they have because i lost mine. They had the key ready it took the 5 minutes.. AVOID big time. |

Those are called wheel locks...you could've purchased a replacement key on eBay or hammer on a bolt extractor socket and taken it off.

Yes i have since used only normal bolts that dont need a special key i find that stuff useless. In Canada stealing ur rims (mine are not special) is unheard of honestly. So i could care less. I just wanted them removed so i dont have to EVER use them, Just a headache. Not to mention what is insurance for..

Hmm - I lost my lugnut key - went to the dealer, they let me borrow theirs to take my lock nuts off and then traded me some brand new standard lug nuts for the locking ones on my car for free - didn't need them anyway.

You could have paid 9 dollars more and they would have changed it for you and given you a loaner

That is funny because I lost mine and when I went to the dealership to get a new they have to take it to the garage and try different keys if you don't know which one you lost. I asked are you going to charge me? They said of course not but I guess I was right to ask because they charged you 130 dollars
