Yep. That's what he or she already said when reporting that the bracket wasn't re-installed correctly. Worse is that this does count as an unauthorized mod (assuming that it wasn't a Mitsu dealer who did the work), so the warranty doesn't apply.

because in the very first post in this thread you said "Checked brake fluid it's full, no visible leaks."

Total repairs was $1800 in parts + labor. Money I used as a down payment on a 13" 335xi

Wait until you see what you get charged for repairs on a Beemer.

This was all avoidable had you been aware of what was going on with your car.

How could you not tell that there was "NO" brake fluid?

You got screwed by a low life shop and you didn't know any better. NOT THE CARS FAULT.

Repairs to the sensor and front brake line should not have cost more than $200.

You could have lost the car completely, and your life, still would not have been the cars fault.

And why, exactly, would $1800 be only a down payment on a car that is a little over a foot long? Is it made of gold and/or radio-controlled by brain-waves?

^ you also forgot to add that the 135xi, uses unubtanioum material for the pistons and turbocharger. Therefore, it can be a race car and luxury car,,,, duh.

Yeah, but we're talking about a 335xi, not the 135xi. The 335xi comes with a flux capacitor, instead of a turbo.
