Years ago, when I had my first 650i, I brought it in to my dealer, who will remain nameless (located in Calabasas, CA). I needed some some minor warranty repair. My service advisor upsold me getting some small scratches touched up.

When I came to pick up the car everything had been touched up. But there was also deep 14 inch long, 1/8th inch wide scratch on the hood that was new -- and it had been touched up as well! When I pointed out that the scratch hadn't been there before I brought the car in I was asked why I wanted everything touched up.

Enough of this nonsense. I went over the intake sheet with my service advisor and the general manager and insisted they fix the hood and loan me a car until it was properly repainted. They agreed to do so. But you have to watch dealers like hawks.
