Amazing. The aryan assembled ultimate driving machine BMW lets you get yourself an Uber with an Armenian driver that can't speak english and flat out doesn't do the work that was requested after over a week of scheduling, while the bippity boppity unreliable Italian Stallion Alfa Romeo will have a retiree drive to your house with a brand new SUV for you to hoon while they take your car back to the lab and fix it, on what 3 days notice?

Cars are at similar price points too? Insanity.
0 days notice. I emailed them at 8 AM and they wanted to pick it up today at 4:30, I just wasn't home in time.
That is fucking incredible.

No, that’s a dealership that doesn’t sell cars and has no work.

I’ll pick up your car no problem, but you’re waiting 15 days for a loaner right now.... and I have 48 Porsche loaners in my fleet.

I suspect they sell loads of cars, I also suspect the huge majority of them are 40k instead of 80 and the treatment is different.

Also I know Alfa put very strict rules into place about treatment of Quadrifoglio owners. They want this to work
It won’t. Alfa is failing but that’s besides the point. You’re at the right time and right place. I can get the same service on a Tesla and then some. I wanted the bmw, I suppose I should have known having had experience with the 335i already. But it’s a newish car, I get 750 days of fun and 3 days of shit with it. :aintcare: 0 rugrats.

That’s just the life out here, I’m sure my 3 “local” Alfa Dealers are no better. And I have 3 less to choose from, my car doesn’t spend life in a service bay and is pretty reliable other than shitty roads side effect.
Also my driver was Chinese we don’t have Armenians here, mostly a SoCal phenomenon.

But yes overall :disgust: treatment of someone who drives 2x the average family income through shitty destroyed roads daily

I did pull the codes last night. Misfire on 1.

On the forums this has been resolved with everything from resetting the plug wires, to engine replacement, to replacement of the car. Who knew car ownership could be so exciting!
Oh wow. Dang. Such Ferrari engine.

It’s like when I ended up in the hospital in college.

Sunoco on the turnpike almost exclusively
Hmm. Curious to see what the diller says. Sunoco is listed as a top tier brand.

It is going to be quite difficult to find the solution online. You have a quite rare car that no one is wrenching on yet because they are all under warranty.
