[QUOTE="1+2=3, post: 185311, member: 3028"] I appreciate your explanation on AB, and yes, as the facts stand, you have just described any manufacturers official service centre. To me, the human element is the main criteria. Systems and procedures can only do so much, hence the occasional horror story that we still hear coming from AB serviced vehicles. No one is perfect, and likewise for the independents. But the fact remains. there are still plenty of bmw's out there serviced by "shaman's" that are in tip-top condition, and running well for many many years, unlike the near doom & gloom picture that you are painting should someone choose to go down that route. Btw, when a person chooses to go to an independent bmw specialist, it is not necesarilly to pimp one's ride ;) To finish off, I'm not arguing against going to AB, but just to state that there are "other" people out there who can also get the job done and not just AB.
