Bmw dealership in georgia, tbilisi is liar. I visited them for customer car package. Under this ccp must be replaced some parts without checking and some of them after checking. That dealership chamged me only air mass sensors when bmw ag states that vent pipe bank 1 and 2, connecting line bank 1 and 2, aor mass sensors, intake air duct must be replaced on every n63s. Injectors, vacuum pump, chain and some orher parts must be replaced after checking if they are faulty. That dealership lied me that they received new documentations from bmw and only air mass sennsors must be changed. They are liars. My car is under burning risk because they changed only air mass sensors and did not performed the ccp properly. They did not check my timing chain too. My contact number +995 591227222
