Service Advisors - Man's best friend??

just wondering what relationship e55 owners with mods have with their service advisors when it comes to keeping an eye out for them? Do they take care of you and your ride or do you wonder sometimes?? I can tell you from my experience i have a great bunch of guys that take care of me at the local dealership. Just the other day i found out something disturbing... it seems that a couple of people have approached certain service advisors and techs at the dealer in an attempt to find out exactly what mods are done to my 55 and when, can you believe this , are these people just jokers or do they seriously have issues?? Maybe it comes down to the old saying of people wanting something they can't have......

Who has come by asking? If it is simply out of curiosity, then so what? Maybe they heard the tech / SA talking about this E55 that comes in that has this and that and they simply wanted to check it out. If, on the other hand, it is management, then I'd worry.

John.. It could just be someone that knows about your car and probably spotted it down there and was curious. If it was the managers asking the techs questions then it could be trouble. Same thing happened to me when they were working on my TB. Car was there for a while and they started wandering over to check it out and started asking all kinds of questions about when this stuff was put on and what it was.

I wouldn't worry about it... I am sure it was just a curiousity issue more than anything else.

Wow! That's pretty interesting! I got the answer! When your making 549 rwhp, and 680ft-lbs lots of people want to know what's up!

It is kinda funny, when someone called the tech to find out when your car was down there! I guess when people start doing that, you know your doing something right!

I like that fact that your car makes more jam then mine, cause now everyone is gonna be gunning for you and not me! That's what you get for stealing my throttle body set-up! Man if you don't send over 1 million, i'm gonna release the spy photos!
