My car has been in the shop for a rear end collision, shop told me today they're waiting on "bolts and rivets to come from Germany" ? I miss driving this thing [IMG][/IMG]

Lol your shop hasn't even started it. There are no bolts or rivets on the body work back there that would only be available in Germany.

Find a new shop. If they are truly ordering bolts from Germany, you're getting ripped off.

Lol you got it easy bud between my warranty company and my shop my cars been in the shop 3 and a half MONTHS... Brought it to them cause it was smoking at stops, took them a month and a half to do the turbos through my warranty. First time he gave it back one of the shitty rebuilt turbos were bad, couple weeks later he gives it back with 2 brand new turbos and not even one full day passed before the engine started knocking and i had to take it back for them to put a used engine in. I should be getting it back tuesday but i know the feels bro

bmw just uses metric and torx bolts....all available at home depot.
just bs....like everyone said they probably havent even ordered the parts. just go to a different shop if there was body work that required 3 months of work, your insurance company wouldve just totaled your car
