Snail Tracks left by BMW Dealer
Not the kind of snail tracks that first comes to mind lol but actual snail tracks from a garden snail.
Took my i8 to the dealer that sold me the car. Not as convenient as my closest bmw dealer and so I clearly won't be going back after this weird experience. The other strange thing is that it took two days to change the oil although they were nice enough to give me a x3 loaner. So what was going on for those two days my car was there??? Got the car back and found this - see pics of passenger footwell. whack.

My oil and filter change took less than two hours at my dealership. The only service maintenance that required the vehicle to be held overnight was for software update.
As for the snail tracks, looks like the dealer that serviced your car lacks attention to detail nor do they recognize or appreciate your loyalty. You are right to find a better dealer and more important, a better service advisor (I've always checked and asked around before requesting for particular SA). My BMW SA besides offering quality and attentive service, has in the past expressed his appreciation for my loyalty as he recognizes there are dealers that are far closer in proximity to where I live and work. |

Could someone who rode with you have carried the snail in with their shoes? Did you carry anything there, like flowers or vegetables? This is a rather odd thing to find in a car. And dealerships are usually huge slabs of concrete - unlikely home for a snail.
P.S.: Did you ever find the thing, or is still in there looking for food? ;-) |

Whether or not that is the case, whoever did the last minute removal of the protective plastic seat covers and the paper floor mats should have paid more attention to the cleaning details. Last edited by YWGT3; 03-21-2017 at 09:43 AM.. |

Is it me then just that monitors my i8 whenever the garage has it, via its tracking feature?
Where it is. Checking if it is indoors overnight, and if the doors are locked etc when outside. To be fair though, my dealer has always taken impeccable care of it. |
