I took my '24 M4 CompX into the dealership for its 1200 mile break in service. While I was waiting I was playing around on the BMW app on my phone I for some reason I will never understand pressed the remote start and even confirmed it was what I wanted to do, I think this was out of dehydration which lead to some kinda confusion/disorientation.

I immediately hear a and loud sound coming from the service bay and a lot of commotion. The service advisor comes running over to me and says the car was empty of oil when I did that and that my warranty was void. They tried to get my car down from the lift as soon as they could but it ran atleast 1-2 min without oil in it. The car still drives but barely and it is making literally the worst smell. How badly did I #rekt my engine.

Should I just go trade it in for something else instead of taking my chances with it?

    Fun fact: Try to operate your app and start the engine while it’s elevated in any way or even remotely thinks it is. It does not work :P Cool story for the rest.
