So I took my BMW 325ix in to a body shop to get it repaired. They fucked me over. I was hoping some of you kind people might be interested in such things as posting fake negative reviews on this website, for the purpose of destroying any chance of business via anyone smart enough to research a place online before using their services.
And because I'm a vindictive bastard and it sounds like fun.

skrap.
I'm sorry, I must've missed the bit where a 95 mustang was either fast or could turn corners. Please explain this phenomenon. Also please explain in relation to your spurious claims of being faster/better/etc than a e36/40/42 M3.
I know which I'd rather drive, and it doesn't have a ford badge on the front.
Co-incidently, I drive an E55 AMG. I also have a pair of matching VR4's, two landcruisers, two suzuki's and a ducati.
Does this mean my e-peen is bigger than yours?
I mean, we can go into mods lists and photos if you REALLY need to. But I doubt i'll ever look at this post again to read your response.

skrap-
you really really really think that a 15 year old, shitty body style mustang with 30k of mods (albeit sweet ones) puts it in the same category as an 07 m3? really? really? come on.

That's because you're a label whore and you're confusing luxury for pure speed. The M3 will get you there quickly and in style. Skrap's mustang just gets you there fast.

I have an idea: Take the Beemer, gun it up to 105 mph, drive it into a snowbank which is actually a 6 foot concrete highway divider covered in snow, smash your head through the windshield, and -2 die.

Boo is a wonderful human being.
By Anonymous
The nature of his business, and its personnel, is the reason I still have faith in the human race. I once had my car break down on Christmas. Boo arrived with 40 men and together they heaved the car onto their backs--with me still in the car--and charioted me to my destination. When I offered them a check for their troubles, boo spit on it, wiped it on his behind, and threw it in the snow before urinating on the remains.
"Your check is no good, sir!" He said, "It's Christmas!" Then he and his men formed a choir and sang "O Holy Night" for me and my family.
God Bless Boo.

i'm a big fan of modding the fuck out of cars. i do it.
it's one thing of having an old beater that you mod the fuck out of and work on on saturdays and take to the track and race against other moded cars. but you can't compare that to a brand new m3.

Actually, it does have factory leather seats, and I have moveable XM radio and GPS that I can transfer from my truck. HD radio still has commercials so fuck that shit. You got me on the A/C as I have replaced it and the air pump with turbos. Turbos make the car go faster thyan A/C and air pumps, you know. But I have a top that drops AND shows a roll cage when it does, so that's chick-magnetier than A/C any day. You ever clipped a girl into a 5-point harness?

I think Apollo has an M3. Nice cars. You should get together and talk about effort vs check writing. I have a '95 Mustang that is now in the same price range as an M3 that will dust your sorry M3 by the second turn on any road course you care to test it on, pass you on lap four, and still gets 20+ mpg. And it's a convertible. I respect effort, not checkbook.

forthewin - de nada. My '94 GMC pickup was at 245k (or just short of 10 times around the planet) when it got t-boned by a drunk in a Jeep. That's why I got my '03 GMC, which has 161k miles (or 6.5 times around the planet) on it now. And if you want to compare mileage, my dad has a 1972 Mustang with 458,000 miles (or 18.4 times around the planet) on it and it's still on the road, though it's on it's third engine. third transmission, and second differential.

The most costly thing about BMWs is the labor a shop will charge you for fixing it. Do it yourself and by your own parts and you're good to go. I haven't even heard of a 1983-1999 BMW part that you can't get for less than $400.
And I haven't ever had to pay more than $130 for a part. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH. YEAH.

To be clear, forthewin, I do not begrudge you your 325i. It is a fine car and admittedly so. In fact, allow me to place upon your car my Skrapmetal Spell Of EMC Longevity +4 which will save you a ton of money in a year or so when your engine mangement computer doesn't die. Side note: If this spell is not effective, you'll need to bank $900(eBay) or $1600(dealer) to replace the EMC, or alternately bank $30 for some decent walking shoes. What I am apparently obsessing about is whether ownership of such a vehicle deserves some measure of ass-kissing by those of us who know better than to afford such a thing.
I'm done here. Poster: Hope your car thing works out.

Skrap, I'm wondering if your comparisons are of proper accuracy here. What year was it when you test drove the 325ix? Which would mean it was an e30. Which also means that it could not have been newer than a '91. Which means you test drove it in '91. Which means you've been around for awhile.
As for your reference to the 3-series being a bottom of the line car... What year are you referring to? The e30, e36, e46, e90, and e92 are all 3-series, and all completely different cars.
Now, if you test drove an e30 325, I can understand what you're saying, because it's not the most amazing car in the world. But as for the newer 3-series, I don't know. I own an e36, which I acquired for $2300 almost two years ago, and it runs beautifully. And it's also far more enjoyable to drive than the 2007 nissans and hondas my friends own.

I drive Ford, GMC, Honda, Kawasaki, and Yamaha, but I don't respect their nameplates. I've test-driven that very model car with an eye to purchasing one, and I bought a Honda Civic Si because it does everything that that car does better than it does and costs a lot less to buy and insure. Anyone can spend too much on a nameplate that offers nothing more than basic trasportation and the pretense of wealth. A BMW 325 is a cheap car that costs a lot, and for the money there are far better-performing vehicles available regardless of what your definition of performance is. Outside the US, BMW 3-series are bottom of the line and it's only marketing to idiots that keeps them selling in the US. Idiots like this guy. To expect someone to respect a car because the owner is a complete idiot who overspent on what anywhere else would only be used as a taxicab is ridiculous.
To be fair, I feel the same way about Harley Davidson even though they have the most logical turn signal switches ever put on a bike.

You understand, of course, that the way to avoid all this unpleasantness is to not drive your car into a tree in the first place, right? And if you do drive your car into a tree and afterward want to have it repaired, then you should do enough research yourself to make sure that you don't get a poor repair job done. That way you won't leave enough details on Boo's comment page for him to know exactly who you are, and then come to Uber like an idiot using the same username you commented on Boo's page with, asking people to falsely report bad experiences with Boo. If I were Boo and I had Boo's tow truck, you'd be looking to buy a new car tomorrow.

Boo lied to the insurance assessor by telling them the damage was done before the accident, so now her insurance isn't even paying for the job.

You understand, of course, that the way to avoid all this unpleasantness is to not drive your car into a tree in the first place, right? And if you do drive your car into a tree and afterward want to have it repaired, then you should do enough research yourself to make sure that you don't get a poor repair job done. That way you won't leave enough details on Boo's comment page for him to know exactly who you are, and then come to Uber like an idiot using the same username you commented on Boo's page with, asking people to falsely report bad experiences with Boo. If I were Boo and I had Boo's tow truck, you'd be looking to buy a new car tomorrow.

details before vengeance.
I worked in a garage and have seen my fair share of idiot car owners.
Not speaking of you specifically, but you need to tell us how they fucked you over before I'll spam.
My brother spun this car out and the driver side front fender hugged a tree. The front door would not shut, and the fender was smashed. I was mostly worried that the frame may be bent, so I took it to him to have him look at it. He seemed very confident that there would be no problem in fixing it. I was pleased, and dropped the car off. He said call him in a couple weeks.
2 weeks later, I call him up. He said he hasn't even started on the car, but he should start soon. Anxious, I called him at the end of week 3, and he said it was still sitting in the lot, but should be started and done within 2 weeks. It took 2 months to get the car back, and when I saw it I was extremely saddened. The front door has to be SLAMMED to shut fuly, and there's a gap between the driver side door and trim. There was a 1/2" gap between the fender and hood, when on the undamaged side there was only about 1/4". He also painted around the bottom of the driver side door, and did a terrible paint job. He didn't take off the mid door trim or even sand down the clear coat before painting. There was also a drippy finish.
I called him up as soon as I saw it, and it told me to take it in for him to look at. I told him the reason the fender and hood were gapped is because he didn't pull out the body that was smashed in from the tree, and he denied it, saying that I gave him a bent fender. I assured him it was straight, unless his workers bent it. He went inside and had one of his workers come out, and he laughed that I came back for such a thing. He said that the job was done right, and the fender was bent, but nonetheless would humor me and take the car in for a couple weeks to try and fix what was wrong. I get it back, and it the gap is less noticeable but still there. He didn't do the job right, the gap is still there, and I still slam my door every time I close it.
I drove my car 2500 miles and the rear tires were wearing very weird. After doing much research, I found out that it was because there was frame damage that he did not address. I took it to another body shop and paid the guy $100 for 3 hours of labor and use of his frame machine. He said the frame WAS bent, and he straightened it without a problem.
There's still the gap between my fender and hood, there is still a sloppy paint job on the driver side door, and I still have 5 months left of warranty according to Boo's invoice. The funny thing is, my mom called him up and asked him to abide by his warranty and he hung up on her.
