Yeah, there's another thread about that:

But there are other issues with that too, arguably more serious issues (since you can always sell your recalled BMW to a person... I believe...)
@Redsoxx: I hate that dealerships do that. If I recall my marketing class correctly it's because they know you've got a limited number of cars you'll be buying in your lifetime and you've already bought 9 from them, so they've got what they wanted out of you. Very stupid logic but it is what it is.
@BMW AG: TAKE NOTE OF HOW UPSET YOUR CUSTOMERS ARE WITH BMW NA. (not that I have any expectations for BMW to actually read this)
