Please DO NOT use this dealer for service. - Murphy.patrick
Please DO NOT use this dealer for service. I had a simple fuel leak from pump to engine in fuel line in my 2011 328i. 1 line replaced at a cost of $1,300+. First thing I did was try to fill tank with gas. Would not take gas, pump kept shutting off. Couldn't figure out why, thought it was just a bad pump nozzle. Later found out at a different repair shop that the charcoal filter was completely full with liquid fuel, preventing the emissions system from working properly. The only way for that to happen is to overfill fuel tank multiple times per week until no more gas will fit in filler neck. I always stop at first shut off, so that wasn't it. OR, as I believe, someone physically dumps gas into the filter canister. This is not a problem that will be immediately visible to most people. Takes a minute to destroy the other components. $3,500 later, problem solved.
Of course, I can't prove my suspicions since no one is allowed to actually watch the work being done, but I am not a dumb person and have talked to a few techs at BMW and feel confident that I'm right. I will do all I can to pass on my story and help people avoid this dealership for service.
