Why are they not telling the truth: after customer complains that their m5 & M6 engines are no longer running we located the problem.
In order to prevent more engine replacements we beg our customers not drive until further notice.
It appears that new M5 & M6 owners are the latest BMW test drivers, for free.
Actually they are paying BMW for this.

Well said. I also don't see any other way to interpret this.
Remember what happened in late 90's with the first Mercedes A series when the car rolled and crashed in an automobile magazine's test drive? Not the same, sure, but I am sensing the aftershocks of this last issue may have similar consequences to BMW's image and they better try to fix it right and quick instead of "cheap and easy"!
My 1M can be my last BMW too, like another poster said before, and it is not because it has issues like this. Not yet at least. And the car is fantastic but BMW services, aftersales and everything else seem to fall way behind.
