Thumbs down BMW Dealer oil change ripoff

Just took my 528, with 14000 miles, to the dealer in Norwood, MA, for its first oil change, brake fluid flush, etc.

When I got it back the oil on the dipstick was black and stink. I drained some into a container to confirm it was dirty. If it's one thing I know it's the difference between dirty and clean oil - I've been changing oil for over twenty years.

Though I'm not certain, I doubt whether the brake fluid was flushed since none of the bleed nipples rubber caps were scuffed, as would happen if you pulled them off.

Call me naive, but I didn't expect to be ripped off by a BMW dealer, over something as trivial as an oil change. I love my car and it really frosts me to think these bastards were compromising the engine to save a few bucks.

I'd take it back there and yell @ them. We usually take our BMW to Grease Monkey or PennzOil... they charge the same price for the 325i as they do the Honda Civic I drive. Plus they do a good job. Go tell them what you think, they might actually do something for you like give you a free one next time.
