My i8 has an Owl problem

Louv · 06-29-2017, 04:37 PM

Does anyone know the Tech Service Bulletin number for how to get rid of an i8 Owl infestation? My dealer doesn't seem to know anything about it. I'm assuming this happens to all of you as well.

Congrats you're going to Hogwarts!

That's a real hoot!

Despite what your dealer tells you, perhaps it's part of BMW's surreptitious and discreet service bulletin, where each i8 will be now outfitted with a wire chewing rodent deterrent.

I'll book into my local dealer for a checkup just in case but I think people in the UK will be fine though, it's "too wet to woo" over here...

I'll get my coat...

Am I the only one thinking about the damage those claws can do?

She (The Owl) was very well behaved. She didn't leave claw marks, or poop on the interior. Was I concerned? Yes, of course. But it was worth the risk.

Yeah, I don't allow food or drinks (other than water) in my car... but I allow wild animals in. Logic... no there's nothing logical about my owning this car. Just love.

That's BMW's new all-sustainable night vision option. Let us know how well it works.

Those door wings look mighty attractive to many people... .
