Dealer boo-boos

I took my M5 to a different dealer to checkout a CEL that came up due to running low on gas. (That's my fault)

Anyways, found out my main dealer had installed the tires inside out, you would expect the authorized dealers would know what they are doing.

For crying out loud the tires are marked outside and inside on the side walls. I hope the tread wear is not badly effected.

The other dealer wanted $200 to install them the RIGHT WAY, my dealer was kind enough to do it FREE OF CHARGE.

Unfortunately mechanics at those big dealerships very very little time ( given by the BMW head-masters ) to do a good job on your car, so yes when car is in service, things will happen ( not good things ).
I always check my car after the work is done, but even if they screw up, and I will prove that they did it, I'm the one that HAS to LIVE with it ....

Screwing up with installing tires is something that was done by a newbie ,
experienced mechanic would not mess simple thing like that.
