I called a non dealer place and it was even more there....there's only so many places that even understand how to do things with that car. I can't just take it to the mom and pop shop down the road.
oh, i get why you would want to go to the dealer on that car. I do work on my Aunts 03 325i and it's a nightmare.

Yeah, likes, posts, trophy points... That's why a certain ex-owner of MTG had like 40k posts despite none of the top posters ever even making it to 20k.
Ah. So metrics aren't really metrics on forums. I've never been "behind the scenes" on a forum so I have no clue :)

(I do oversee a non profit FB page which has a bunch of "metrics" they want you to mess with, but I can't adjust any of them...just see them and either monetize them or boost them or look at obscure graphs that are about nothing I remotely care about for that

Do you all think having a water pump done for 1200 dollars is a bit much for pricing?
Like, on a well that gets water to your house? No. That's not bad.

On anything else, seems a bit spendy.

While repairs and such on the BMW does cost more and I knew it when I bought it, the feel of the car and the smoothness is completely unparralled. If someone says they wouldn't want one I assume they've never been in one.

Thanks. I thought that the TO was affected by those "not recommended" reviews.
So for TO purposes if you don't complete the HIT then the TO for them doesn't change because the data input for Pay, Communication, etc does not change?
You have to leave TO for it to make a difference. It goes by ratings that people input into it about requestors, more about requestors than hits.
