This reminds me of that time I thought my PC was dead and after replacing 2 power supplies and a motherboard I realized the power strip was unplugged from the wall. Sometimes the most obvious culprit is the most over looked.
I have mixed feelings right now. On one hand, I can't wait to get it back, on the other I'm worried that other things will start failing on the car as well.

Pretty funny about the computer though!! :biggrin:

We'll see how this goes. It might be ready for pickup this weekend.

I don't know if I want to sell out the dealership just yet. Let me see how they treat this problem first....

This is exactly the reason why when I've a problem, I post it on the internet for help before I go to the dealership. Who knows how long it'll take them to figure it out!
I hear ya, I just wished they would've listened to all of you in the first place!! That's the problem. They don't trust the customer, and they're bound to follow the long and ridiculous protocol so they will get reimbursed by BMW.

Thanks again to all for the responses, btw. It was nice having everyone here, especially while the dealership was taking forever and was so noresponsive. I definitely couldn't have survived this long without my friends on the board!! :headbang:
