louv commented on This BMW Dealership Doesn't Handle Criticism Well

"BMW North America knows that the "5-point" system is corrupt, (I've talked to their representatives at headquarters in NJ) but they don't seem to be able to do anything about it. If you don't like the system (because it doesn't actually do ANYONE any good) then by all means, call BMW's Customer Service line and explain why. I give them all 5's."
