It'll probably take a while for them to find you and have their attorneys send you the legal bits. Don't forget that BMW dealers make more money in a month from their service department than they do from selling cars all year long.
You can not use their logos when offering goods or services pertaining to the manufactures who own the rights to those logos. The manufacture cares much less about this than the local dealers, but the manufacturers have to protect their associates.
You can use the words, BMW, Mercedes, etc... but not their logos. I have a friend with a European shop and he ran into this problem. Tried to fight it for a brief moment, then came to his senses.
