2015 BMW 320i considered an Exotic Car?

Mazda is currently offering to perform free oil changes for healthcare workers. I contact my local Mazda Dealership Bob Penkhus in Colorado and gave them my car, year, make and model and was instructed that I would need to bring in my hospital ID badge to get the oil change for free and scheduled the oil change for today and dropped off the car last night. The dealership just called me and let me know that my car is excluded from the program due to it being classified as an exotic car and I could pay $100 for the oil change. I guess something are just to good to be true and fell for the bait and switch tactic.

.......But seriously a BMW 320i considered exotic. I thought I would post this for a good laugh, I should have known better.

I don't even want to try this... I will bet they will use mineral oil straight from a drum.

If you time travel back to 1832 in your 320i, yes it is TOTALLY exotic.

Exotic to them means cars that require full synthetic are too expensive to change oil for free.

My wife had a 13' Mazda 3 which used full synthetic. I wonder what the fine print of this deal says.

I wouldn't count on a Mazda dealer having the required replacement plastic drain plug in stock. And what about the filter?

You should consider this a gift. You don't want Mazda doing anything to a BMW.

Yeah. Don’t trust them. They will get the car on a lift and wonder where the drain plug is then start cutting panels. Lol
