They said they drove it thoroughly and couldn't produce the noise. I came down to take a spin with a tech and I couldn't hear it now either. I did notice only 1 additional mile on it after my original drop off. I took the car back and the noise came back 20 miles later. I think they put an additive in my oil to quiet it. I took my car to European Auto Source for bearing replacement. They send your oil out to be analyzed for metal. I'm just paying for the work and then going to small claims court with my oil report and receipts and trying to recoup my money. The replacement is costing me $2,300 but I'll have a purring kitten again. Trust me ya'll.......DEALERS ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH THIS. They pay their in-experienced techs shit money and so you pay for SHIT work! I love the manufacturer but despise BMW dealers. I would love to find a factory owned dealership to use near LA!!!!
