So I got this email this morning:

Despite it being from “Orange Coast Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Fiat” it’s actually apparently from BMW of San Antonio, as the button to schedule an appointment !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . However, checking online, I don’t have any open recalls:

Looks like it was just a ploy to get me in.

Bunch of dealers in VA got busted for that -

You should report it to the FTC, and I’d probably also send a tweet to BMW USA.

Call them up, ask what the recall is. Don’t stop until they can explain why you got the notice.

I hate shit like this.

Might just be a mistake? But, probably not, I’d call and ask.
