Looks like you have a load of M Performance parts. Were they port installed? If so, you should be okay. Regardless of which dealership you go to, they're both the same company (Autonation) so you'll likely receive the same level of service. I've been going to BMW Henderson, and I haven't had any issues with my light modifications, although they were port installed. They've replaced my M Performance Exhaust due to the cracking issue mentioned widely on this forum. I believe the SA I've been dealing with recently left and is currently at the Mercedes Dealership.

I'll most likely be there. I've been going for the past 6 months. It gets pretty packed from 7-8:30 then promptly dies off at 9:30. The lot remains open until 11 I believe.

The M performance parts where not port installed but I was able to get my hands on all paperwork regarding purchase/installation from the dealer on the parts except the most important one the MPE. I've checked for cracks as of now no cracks

Bmw Las Vegas and service advisor Joe Carcione is legit. Have him have the master tech Reggy Racoma work on your car. He has a modded out F80 and he takes care of all my stuff with no problems.

I'm down for the exotics meet also

cotmfk · 01-19-2018, 11:36 AM

Congrats on the car!

satinm3 · 01-19-2018, 01:07 PM

+1 on Reggy Racoma at BMW Las Vegas.

GasMan85 · 01-19-2018, 04:06 PM

Just a heads up, I am going to be parting out my car in the next month or so and if anyone here local wants dibs on my Brixton forged wheels/tires I'd love to sell them versus having to ship them.

Gasman you ever had a problem having your car serviced with master tech Reggy Racoma with your tune. my car has a JB4 tune that I leave on map 1 but the first time I have to take the car to the dealership Iam gonna remove

Nope no problems. He has the JB4 with meth injection on his car. I have the BMS stage 1 and I didn't remove it before my services. There is no need for you to remove it or even mention it unless you have a CEL on or something.

Did any of you show up today? I kept an eye out but I didn’t see your M’s. There were a few F80s and an F82. Highlight of the show was a Pagani and a Chiron!

I was planning on it but had a late flight home from Florida last night so did not make it this time

818M3 · 02-12-2018, 11:34 AM

Beautiful. Enjoy.

spyderbret · 02-12-2018, 01:02 PM

Nope, had to miss this one. Should be at the next one though!

How did your exhaust replacement go? Was it a hassle? Did you have to fight for it? Did they offer to "fix" it first or did they a offer replacement right away?

I don't see any cracks on mine yet, hoping I won't have to go through that.

Mr.War · 02-13-2018, 11:24 PM

congrats!!!!!

No hassle at all. I just told them I think my exhaust is cracked and told them of the horrible noise. They checked it out and told me it needed to be replaced.

Anyone going to espresso and exotics on Sunday?

Yet another reason to move to Vegas!

This and the decent weather (beside the summers), and no state income tax.

Reminder, for those of us in Vegas, the Espresso and Exotics show is this Sunday. I won't be able to make it this time. I'm guessing the Chiron will be back this time (fingers crossed). That team has been rolling in deep for the past few shows.

Might check it out.

Was able to meet a YAS M3 owner, not sure if you're on here.

ra2289 · 08-08-2018, 09:15 AM
