I guess so?
This one time Dealer told me condensation on the tail light was caused by water going through electric cable. So i guess anything is possible

No lube with that shafting.... jk jk. That`s a big bill with some interesting charges - could be legit though, but you are posting it here, so i`m guessing you feel you`ve been overcharged.

Two things off the bat - Have they charged you for keeping the car while they worked on it? I don`t know this engine well but find it strange that overfilling coolant could lead to it getting past a sealed injector and into the cylinder! Could be wrong though. Oh and a third thing, shouldn`t the sleeve balance be part of the rebuild and not a separate item?

Will follow with interest.

How does coolant get from expansion tank to an injector and cause a "super knock?"

If anything a failed injector or a little water in a cylinder would be the opposite of a knock

[///MPhatic]

There are so many things wrong with this invoice that I don't even know where to begin. Just wow. Forget the BMW tax, they mistook your BMW for a Ferrari.

Im curious to see what happened to one of your cars this time.

You never seem to be short of yearly stories on how a shop screwed you over.

Please do tell.

[Maynard]

Hmmm, you brought an M8 to be rebuilt at a duplex? That address/phone looks like a low rent residential n'hood where a tuner lives (based on what's in the driveway). I'm thinking file under fiction?

Those people who arent really patient you can just scroll down and read summary i write

Invoice i uploaded take a look closely
Invoice #001 and look what its made out of.
This invoice apparently i havent even received it from shop. Where did i get it? I received it from bureau of automotive.
First of all i dont even know why i have to deal with this bs. But im posting here to let you guys know how this law is bs and prevent more victims.
This car is 2020 bmw m8 were going to talk about.
Apparently its stolen and i tried to file a stolen report police says its not stolen because i know where the car is and who has it. People who are reading this im pretty sure your like wtf is this guy talking about what is he smoking. But heres what exactly happened.
2020 July i bought this car brand new at a stealership mckenna. Paying 43k down 2k a month. Ive always think of dealer service = free oil change. And really didnt gave a f about warrenty and most my cars were modded balls deep. First thing i did was i lowered the car with spring. And this bs started from this month.
Im not gonna say detaily what happed but if you search my post you will kinda see the nightmares i had withcthis car.
Axle blew up 3 times, cluster got fried and replaced 2 times li-ion battery? Maybe 5? Times all out of my pocket. Because some asshole from dealership red flagged entire car for having spring.Btw car wasnt tuned at all.
After dealing with this bs i immediately decided to just flash dme and tune the car and mod the s*** oit of the car.
My second upgrade was turbo, next upgrade was stage 2 tune and exhaust.
Sometime in May from hollywood on the way back home. In a freeway i was driving 40mph and motor just blew up. If i was pushing the car hard then i wont even say anything and just stfu but this isnt that case
How hard possibly i can push in 40mph freeway?
At this point ive spent already way too much money on repair. Btw mileage was at 4000 miles when it blew up. I didnt even bother to take it to dealer cause i knew what they would say. I try to look for a 3rd party shop to see if i can get it rebuild and most place asked for around 30k. Which didnt really felt like spending that much and kept look for a mechanic who knows how to fix. Now this was my mistake, itnwas my mistake that i took the car to a unlicensed business aka garage boy. He quoted me 4500 to rebuild and i would need to bring all the replacement parts. And would take 2-3 weeks to get it done.
I brought all the parts and paid him full before the repair. 2-3 weeks he said turned out to be 3 months. And the day i brought the car i already have issue. Damaged cylinder was 4&8 and code keep says superknock 7. But there is no knock, car goes limb mode but its not even a limb mode, because red line is still showing at 7000 and. Even 1 side turbo was working. 1 turbo just kept gets shutdown . And keep saying superknock.
This mechanic tells me its my dme problem and starts blaming on dme. Luckily i had a extra dme set and i was able to reprogram the vin on the dme and it was same.
This funny clown now starts to point fuel injector, knock sensor, ignition coil, spark plug. Everything you can possibly imagine related to engine.
I changed 8 fuel injector, 4 knock sensor, spark plug at least 2 sets and 3 igniton coil. And problem still didnt fix. Now coolant part, why he said overfilles coolant? When i brought the car home, coolant was empty. And i had to fill the coolant. I spilled little bit but this guy talk like i dumped whole bottle into cylinder. I been so stressed for few months and started dojng some research and i decided to just take it to the shop. On a random sunday in July. Normally this guy always call me or text me saying if im home or not and comes by. But without that he comes to my house with his little brother and begs me to give him chance to fix the car. He didnt even tell me hes gonna charge for rebuild again or charge me for storage at this point. What made me speechless was he just took my car while i was changing the brake pad on my cousins car. Saying ill have it fixed. Technically this guy just inform me and just took the car. Before he open the motor up he says he is forcsure my piston and rod got fucked up and i would need to look for new piston and rod.
So i kinda was looking for it but nobody really had the forged piston in stock and even if there was they wouldn sell just 1 .
I kinda felt this guy is just bs and told him i found a place who might be able to fix ( which was a test) and give me the piston and rod when opens up.
After he opened the motor my feeling was right , piston and rod was not messed up. At this point this guy absolutely dont know what issue is. After him taking my car from my house i waited 2 months and he still doesnt do anything on the motor. So i decided to just take the car to a shop and get over with it.
I arranged the tow truck because motors been taken out i decided to take the car and this fker normally parks my car in the middle of street but car doesnt show where its supposely, and dodging my call.
Obiously i went to local sheriff station and tried to file a report and they wont take the report and tells me its a civil matter and go deal with it at court. I tried to file report and this one sheriff says its faster to deal with BAR and try ask them for help. So i hit em up told them the story and they tell me theres nothing they can do. Cops say its civil issue and bar is helpless tried to look for a lawyer for cant find a lawyer. What pisses me off the most is im still fkin making a payment nearly 1 yr for something i don't even drive or have. I tried many times go and take thr car and this piece of sh** wont release the car.
You can literally steal a car from someone you know and pull the motor out, and if cops show up lie to them saying they owe money and lapd or sheriff will not do anyhting.
I learned my lesson again from this experience and all i can say is f the lapd snd sheriff, they can go f them selve or each other and lastly this ungrateful mf. He will pay the price for playing game with me.
2022 is supposely a very good start for me i guess.
If anyone who knows the law or can help me more than happy to listen to it.


Summary
Unlicensed mechanic stole the car and asking to pay 22k for something i dont even owe and not releasing the car. Police wont take this as stolen car cause i know where the car is and who took.

[ryan stewart]

I cant read any of what you posted, sorry its English words but the syntax and punctuation is like speech jammer to me.

[Tommy-G]

OK, most annoying thing I see if the guy appears to be charging you storage AND doing the repair work.

Storage is generally for when a vehicle is "abandonned" or not picked up within a reasonable amount of time.
