it may potentially be true that you're more likely to contract it from your wife than from the dealer, if she's a health care professional in contact with those that have COVID19. but then youre also more likely to spread it by visiting the dealership and potentially getting them ill |

I took mine in yesterday (March 21st) for an oil change, rotor repair and lease inspection. I was very impressed by the precautions being taken.
The staff has been split 50-50 and alternate days. Showroom doors are locked, visits are by appointment only. They are also limiting the number of customers in the showroom to 10 or less. I also took an X50 50i out for a test drive. Before I got into the car all the surfaces were wiped down including the key fob. I took the car out on my own for about 20 minutes and when I returned pulled into the service bay were the wipe down was repeated. |

My dealer just sent a 10% off maintenance coupon and this note:
"Jackie Cooper BMW is still open for business during these challenging times, we are taking measures to ensure the safety and health of our customers. As part of our efforts, we are offering COMPLIMENTARY pick-up and delivery service through the end of April*. In addition, we are equipping all cars with protective steering wheel and seat covers during servicing."

Dealer just had my car for 4 days + weekend (replace radiator). They also put a lot of miles on the car so I will need to check my video cameras for footage.
While they did the pick up and delivery - including a loaner when I learned it was staying so long - the steering wheel had plastic but not the seat. I disinfected all the high-touch areas before getting inside. Just started to look at the video and today's driver drove up to 87 mph. He also turned on my V1. When he got to me, he told me how respectful he was when it was not his car!

SA asked for video, but the file is too big (188 MB) and he cannot take OD links with SMS or email. It is not my job to solve these IT issues and I am not putting 35 miles on my car to show them the video on my iPad.

If they say no then they're just making excuses to not have to deal with it. You've reaffirmed why I will not allow any dealer to pickup and deliver my vehicle to the dealership. |

My 328 needed tires, front end alignment, and an oil change so I brought it to my dealer. Drove into the service bay and was greeted by my SA with wipes for my key steering wheel and shift knob. When I picked up the car the steering wheel had a wrap. I live in NJ which is the 2nd worst state for this virus. Unless you have a pre-existing condition there is no reason for fear. We have to wear a mask in stores and I carry alcohol sanitizer. Get some fresh air, locking yourself in your home will never let your body build up immunity! Be safe.

Took mine in for oil service last week. The dealer covered the steering wheel and driver's seat as well as used a special decontamination process. Felt perfectly comfortable. Gave me a X7 loaner with air suspension which I do not have. NICE ride but definitely floated around a bit. Also did not have Sport Plus mode which I thought was strange.
