Oh see that's why it didn't make sense to me. My local dealership just uses foam cannons and pressure washers. I was going out on a limp and thinking that if OP was worried about his mount and such that would be the problem.

Then my next question was why the dummy didn't use the suction cup like the rest of us...

I once saw my local BMW service manager rip into a customer, then told him not to bring his car here. I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. The customer was walking away, and the service manager mumbled something, and then it was on. The customer got into the face of the manager, and asked him to repeat what he just said in his face. Of course, the manager didn't, and other customers got in between them. What I found unusual was that, no other employee intervened. The customer asked to call the police, before he puts his hands on the manager. Police were called, and asked what happened? I heard the customer tell the police that all he was asking for was " Why was his car sitting in the service bay for 1 week, and nobody returned his call to tell him the car wasn't ready. And when he walked over to his car, he noticed his front Xenon headlight was cracked. That's when he lost it, and the service manager denied it happened while in BMW's possession. Police asked the customer to go outside, and calm down. Needless to say, I saw a technician outside a few weeks later, and he told me that that service manager was a huge jerk, and not liked. Eventually, he was let go, and the customer had his Xenon headlight repaired.

That video was cringeworthy. Agents of shield badge? Superman? M sticker? Come on now.

You may like it and that's fine (you go be you), but get use to people making fun of it behind your back. Such is life.

Honestly I also make it clear to my dealership not to wash my car and I probably say it 5-6 times before I leave when I drop off my car. I don't leave a note in the car or use painters tape and I think it is totally legit, the only person to wash my car is me and the only exception is my detailer who knows more about washing than most people. My car however is stock and I have no M badges or stickers. I totally understand people making fun of people and you shouldn't get upset about that. C'est la vie. As most others mentioned, so long as your car was not damaged and they complied with your "DO NOT WASH" request then there's no harm done here.

I know, right?

I can’t believe no one has called out the OP for secretly recording oral communications between two or more people without the consent of at least one of the individuals involved.

To then post it on YouTube ... there’s an idiot here, and it’s not the guys laughing at the man child with kid’s stickers and faux M performance parts.


Could you imagine if someone was secretly filming you at work and uploading it to YouTube? Police would be involved.



For all the legal eagles suggesting going to the manager to complain ... replay in your mind how it would go down. OP is the only one committing a crime. Well two crimes ... those badges ... sheesh.

The cringiest part of this video is the fact that someone used the word 'cringey' in real life.

Do you mean something like this, two pages back in the thread?

Honestly I would make fun of those dorky comic book stickers too. How old are you OP? If you are like 16/17 then I guess its ok because you just dont know any better yet. But otherwise, who puts that kind of stuff on their car?

I was expecting way worse from that vid, like them making racist comments or something. But all they did was joke about the juvenile "mods" on the car.

Ya, kinda ironic that he doesn't know those are nerdy decals and wants to 'expose' those workers. Like I said, that YT thumbnail is additional cringy. Kinda passive-aggressive there. Oh well lol.

Who cares?

Did you actually expect to hear love and praise for all your stickers? You have way too much time and disposable income....
