Because it only takes two bolts being removed, that are in plain sight.

But its cool man, I'm glad your so concerned with what happened.

Here we go again....

he is a typical BMW owner. Why would you expect the guys at a tire store to know where your spare is ? In my experience working at tire shops , the cars usually come in with the spare on , we dont usually have to put a grown man's spare tire on for him . If the exhaust was close enough to melt a brake line , it would have done it the first day , not months down the road
+++++9,000,000

I work with and under an assclown who also owns a Z3 and acts just like this guy.

What is with assholes and BMWs...

For the record, I had an exhaust built at Sure Stop. Great welder, professional crew, good communication, no hassles, and they'll let you do what you want with your exhaust as long as you pay cash.

Agreed, but Al, the shop owner already told me that it was because the original job was done by his brother, then repairs done by employees, but this last time, Al the ship owner re did the exhaust himself, and now its perfect, and way cleaner welds and bends.
