Don't know. It's a high performance engine and everything for this car has been expensive. It wasn't riding badly.

i've heard bmw work is more costly than mercede's work, which i found a bit hard to believe, but came from a reliable source, so i trust him..
$2800 isn't that much to spend really, i see those sorts of ro's at work all day long..

You're right. It isn't that much, considering. It's just bad timing for me. I'm funding a project and taking a trip in October so I didn't really need it. But it's all good.

When u are goin in for an oil change and a lil inspection that would have given me a heart attack. Especially if i didnt notice anything wrong with the car.
My brother bought an old m5 and drove it til it needed an oil change then he sold it because the oil filter was like $130 bucks.
$2800 is more than i spent on my truck lol

yeah, i didn't mean that $2800 wasn't a nice chunk of change, don't get me wrong, i just meant that considering the car you drive, it's not a super high bill, but i think you know this already..

Why did you call me trust fund?

It was something you recently said about potentially being contacted by those in charge who are handling your money. did you forget already, it sounded pompous. How about you clarify instead of me.

Also 2800 is about $2,760 in extra work, I would wager you've been somewhat scammed. What year is your auto and what did they talk you into?

lol, i gotcha.. that's why i'd never own a high end car unless either a, i was doing all the work myself, or i had enough cash that i'd not sweat the maintenance costs associated with said car..

Well, I don't think I was scammed. My family has know these guys for a while. And my trainer gets his work done there also. But anyway, it's a 2004.5. Didn't talk me into anything... rear break pads and rotors... spring bar and bushings... and there was a rear strut issue. I had hit serious pot hole this winter and blew out three tires and cracked two rims. I'm guessing some of this was residual from that incident. The place I go to is a specialty shop that only that only works on my brand of car.

It's a really fun ride though. It has a short shifter and performance and sport packages. I like driving it.

OVO, I'm not angry or anything. I am curious why you called me "trust fund." Just wondering where you got that. I don't mean it in a nasty. It's important. So, can you tell me why?

Oh, ok. I just read your other post. I'm sorry. OK. I probably should be careful what I say. Sorry.
