What a terrible day - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So I start up the M3 this morning and it's shaking violently and the check engine light comes on so I call Essex BMW and bring it in. I take my S2000 to newark to help my friends with something. BMW calls me and says I need 6 new coils and 6 new spark plugs and inspection II soon with a valve adjustment and recommends I do it now I say fine how much, 2k (Ouch). I start driving home again after I finish up in newark and a cop stops me because I went into the opposing lane, I said I was dodging a pothole! (I really was) The cop says take it up with the judge (fine, whatever). After the ticket BMW calls me again and says so yea you need new belts for the waterpump and alternator (Perhaps the next call will be a new engine?). I tell them to do it. I get home and find that someone broke into my garage and stole my bike. So yea thats my day, how's everyone else's weekend starting out?

What a rude comment. Just bc someone has money doesnt make it any less terrible when things happen to them.

That sucks Ray

Sorry to hear you had such a crappy day!

05Accent · 03-30-2007, 03:44 PM

damn dude sorry to hear.. hope u find who has ur bike.. and win that ticket.

CHAOS · 03-30-2007, 03:55 PM

ouch dude... hopeeverything works out... and **** DELAWARE and or NEW JERSEY! (whichever newark)

ScubaSteve · 03-30-2007, 03:56 PM

Ouch... thats one hell of a day. Homeowners should cover the bike right? And at least you didn't hit the pothole, that coulda been worse than the ticket. Goodluck.

Broken5hift · 03-30-2007, 04:01 PM

quick question, i thought BMW covered all maintenance on cars? or is this only for newer cars? or am i just crazy?

either way that sucks bro, good luck with everything! i will probably never own a BMW after they charged my dad $80 to replace a brake light bulb

Yup maintenance if you have maintanence program, unfortunately mine ran out. BMW is great when you are under warranty, they cover everything. So the moral of the story is sell before you run out of warranty lol.

XxaltezzaxX · 03-30-2007, 04:15 PM

Holy crap that blows, but things could have been worse. And that sucks about the cop thing, most of the newark cops are cool, and let you slide on some things.
