We also power wash the subframe and suspension assembly during the service. Having everything clean adds to the quality of the job. But, fewer and fewer people care about quality these days as the value and ownership demographic of these cars fall.
That is really good to hear that y'all work in such a manner....my father taught me to only assemble things together in better mechanical AND cosmetic condition than how I found it. Cleanliness, the right tools and ROOM to work comfortably are staples for quality work. I've found a few unbelievable evidences of poor work on my bimmers from BMW dealer services either while the previous owner had the car, or even while I had it. Just unreal.
