Okay, so the guy who sold me this car is a moron. He doesn't know the first thing about BMWs let alone cars in general. And believe it or not, his mechanic was even WORSE!! I had the car shipped to my house and the first time I drive it, the damn thing overheats not two blocks from my house! I called him immediately and got him to agree to pay up to $1500 to repair whatever was wrong. Long story short, I got it fixed at charlotte's premier BMW shop, billed the seller $1000, it's been almost six months and I haven't received a penny. Apparently he hasn't convinced his wife yet to give me the money!!!!!!! Wait until I go into what happened next!
