My i8 made a phone call

Jo-Sta07 · 11-08-2018, 06:19 AM

Yesterday I got a call from my dealer. Hi Mr xxxxx your 2016 BMW i8 called us and told us it needs it's break fluid changed, when would you like to bring it in for service. I was like oh, ok. Interestingly this is the second time my car made a mysterious phone call. A few months into ownership I was at a restaurant and my car was parked out front. I could see it and noticed a cop looking inside with his flashlight so I went outside to talk to him. He said the car called us. I was like, "huh, ok". Anyhow, I took some pics of him sitting in the drivers seat, he returned the favor with one of those friend of the police get out of a ticket card and that was that.

Also, my dealer asked what kind of loaner I want. I responded that my lease is up in September so if they want me to get something else expensive it would be in their best interest to loan me an M5 or 8 series for a few days. We'll see, I doubt they'll do it but if they do I'll let you all know.
