Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoLuxury car dealers do that all the time. The Volvo dealership quoted me $2800 to get my car to pass extension, about $1500 of which was just tires.
I got a set of tires from Costco for like $800, and then an independent mechanic said everything else was fine and charged me $100 for inspection and emissions.

I know, but in the past the independent dealers didn’t have to deal directly with BMW for fixes. Now with all the authentication needed you can’t just get a replacement part from anywhere any more. Similar to how Apple locked down its batteries, BMW is doing the same.

They can lock down their revenue potential, fine by me
