All warranty work shows up in the BMW system so it shouldn’t have even been a fight…

I’d imagine they would be even more annoying if third party stuff was actually installed.

Glad you have a good dealership experience, but I wouldn’t paint it as universal.
Understood and not trying to paint a universal picture. I understand there is a reason why people call them the Stealer. YMMV.
