Reminds me of the oil change my dad had in his Euro Delivery E32 in the summer of 1994 - In Copenhagen. I remember him calling me later to (kind of) complain of his $400 oil change (I think that was how much it was -more or less anyway).

Well, if you play - you gotta pay. With all the taxes in Denmark, he was driving a car that costs about $100k (in DK) back then.
He did say that he and my Mom got the ROYAL treatment as the dealer didn't see many 7-series and everyone made a fuss about 'everything' - is the waiting room chair comfortable, coffee or tea... is the waiting room cool or warm enough... can we get you anything - and so on... He did say my Mom loved the attention. He just wanted to look at the different cars - by himself .... lol
