So my oil light comes on

and upon review I figure out it's telling me i'm a tad low on oil. No big deal right? So I figure to hell with the cost and cruise up to the local bmw stealer walk up to the service counter and say can I get a quart of oil for the Z4. So Mr attendant says sure, walks to the back, comes out hands me a quart. I ask do I pay over there, and he says no charge. Sweetness. So my question is this....

Did I just get lucky?
When it comes time to change my oil (which I want to do soon) think I could get 4-5 free quarts of oil? :evil: :evil:

I know I will but my car is still under warranty and will be for another 37,000 miles :D
 
Well I've yet to go ask for 4 quarts and a filter.


On a side note, and totally unrelated (do I get points for hijacking my own thread?)...
I noticed (after having the car for 4 months) that there is no keyhole on the passenger side of the car
 
Points for the thread hijack...

But you're right - only one, not sure why they only have a single key opening :scratchhead:
 
my vauxhall cavalier of 1988 only had drivers door lock, they stated at the time anti theft reasons, i.e. one less weak poing for villians to attack
 
Passengers are allowed to have keys? :scratchhead:

I prefer the option of not letting them in myself :evil:

I'll agree. I like it like that. An agree with the anti theft part. Either way, still amazed I never noticed it before. I do wash the car myself and get paranoid over the smallest dings.
 
Strangely I've noticed that passengers don't get a steering wheel, pedals, gauges and only one window opener. Even their side of the widscreen is poorly cleaned and part obsured with a tax disk. What the hell do they do with their time??

tell me to slow down....

Hmm - maybe that's the whining sound I hear when I get carried away in the turns.

All the more reason for no key on the passenger door :D

Funny, in the UK cars, there is a wheel and pedals for the passenger, but somehow it's omitted for the driver. That's just weird. but then so is getting passed by a Ka on the M4 when i'm already doing in excess of 80 on what appears to be the wrong side of the road.
 
Yeah - they just got everything wrong on that side of the pond. Maybe every car in the UK is for teaching driving and they just gave up on anyone actually learning how from the real driver's seat.

It's also cheaper to manufacture and there are that many fewer parts to keep in inventory. The freed up warehouse space is used for $50 baseball caps and chainrings, I believe. :)
 
Hey - it's you guys that have the pedals/wheel on the wrong side :D We are the substative majority :rofl: Anyway forget about KA's it's well known fact that in the UK White Astra 'Vans' are the fastest four wheeled vehicles known to mankind :driving: Closely followed by Merc Sprinters :lol:

Talk about a thread going awol :thumbsup:
