I talked the one of the BMW reps and the answer is "yes". The vehicle they brought to the show is unlocked, which is nice of them to do.

Because my car qualifies for their "Classic" rate, get a load of this:
Service at $189/hour (a $50 reduction from our standard rate)
Yeah, no.

CG motorsports had a booth and I asked what their shop rate is: $165/hour. $189/hour for a dealer is not bad, TBH. I'm sure Porsche has a lounge with an espresso bar while you wait. On the other hand, if you take your car to an independent, you're often stuck in an industrial area with no lounge, no courtesy shuttle, limited hours, etc. As I've gotten older, I sometimes appreciate the value proposition of a dealer for service.
