What does that even mean?
It sounds like something a child would say.
They were quoted $17,000 to fix it. I wrote it that way because I have no idea what was actually wrong with it. What could cost $17k to fix? I don't know. I didn't ask.
Well, in a BMW 760iL that would be the main wiring harness. Which failed with alarming regularity I would come to learn, because of a design flaw that allowed rain water to spill into the harness under the hood and cause corrosion.
The first one was replaced under warranty. And BMW instructed the dealership to tell me to “only keep the car in the garage, and refrain from driving it in rainy or snowy conditions”. Yeah - they actually had the balls to tell an owner not to drive their shitty car IN THE RAIN.
The second time it failed it was out of warranty. $16,400 to replace a plastic box with wiring connectors about the size of a bar of cream cheese.
I had it scrapped instead. Destroyed a still-new looking car because it cost more to fix it than it was worth. Vowed never to own another German POS after that.
