Where did you get the monetary amount of $40 from? And why should it be considered a gamble to take it somewhere besides the dealer? They presented themselves as a bmw repair shop and are you supposed to assume that anywhere else would cause a further, separate issue after?

Sounds like this dragged on too long. Either way, the car needs fixing. Clearly Bowma can't do shit about it.

Take the car back, drop it off to the dealer where it'll get fixed properly. Get a proper work report stating what happened. If the report and technician believes the issues came as a result of a butchered job then take that back to Bowma and stick it to them. Get some reimbursement if not all.

If it was proven not to be their fault then carry on.

I think if the shop fixes the problem at last and compensate on the down time or whatever, that would be your best situation.

And to be honest, water leak is prone to have some sort of electrical problem, especially since some modules may located near the carpet.

That's why I said My Precious Pony and friends.

I thought Michael Ho jumped ship and sells Mercedes?
