Screaming Bean
Tuesday, October 28, 2008

My car is not old. My car only has 16,000 miles on it. However, the other day I hear what sounded like squealing coming from my brakes. This is disturbing, because this should not be happening on my car. So, as I do every time something weird happens, I take it to the dealership. Now luckily for me, my dealership is only 1/2 mile from work, else this would be really damn annoying. It becomes more annoying for them since they get to take me to work, and call me, and pick me up when it's raining to come get my car. And so yesterday they did just that. And it turns out that my front brakes were bad. Now, I am not cruel to my car. I love my car. I don't take it to track days with our BMW club, I don't take it to autocrosses, I just drive less than 10K miles a year. And the front brakes needed to be replaced! So, moral of the story...while I love my BMW dearly, so far I've cost them a lot of money. 4 new tires, brand new brake pads, 2 new sets of wipers, 4 oil changes, a brake fluid flush, 3 gallons of windshield wiper fluid, and two door lock actuators and 4 fuses, all in the course of 20 months. Yup, this free maintenance plan works great!
