Funny, I had the dealer install camber plates and track alignment to my specs on a brand new M4 and I was at the track 2 days later, do you really think I had the whole 2000km done...

Well, I can tell you they have a "break in procedure" for a reason. There is a reason why, when you take delivery of the car, that it's in "break in mode, service due in 1,200 miles"

Of course they did. They will do anything you pay for. Are they going to cover the car, under warranty that an aftermarket part caused to fail, or anything in line with that aftermarket part? Good luck.

I've seen dealer blame aftermarket lowering springs on manual transmission issues. By lowering the car, you changed the thrust angle of the cv joint going into the transmission, that put undue stress on the bearings inside the transmission case. That's their argument. Now, they're not going to cover it, and it's your choice to pay for it, or lawyer up. :

The car is simply dope, there's no doubt about that imo.
The car sounds badass from inside, obviously amplified and modified. The sound from outside would be interesting to hear, though.

You can get it done at 1000 miles (even less), my F80 and my F92 I did at 1000.

I think mine was done around 1080.
