as you know, my 128 is gone right now. I lost control on the highway during heave rain condition. I was drving below the speed limit 50-55mph. I am still pissed off with everthing how the state trooper messed up everything. She gave me a ticket says "Speed gr than resonable." Retard tow truck guy who took my car without consent and agreement. Never say he isnt work for BMW roadside assistance. Then he asked me for money and I told him I am not supposed to pay anything because I have warrenty. Then he dropped me off at the gas station and told me to call somone to pick me up. And then he left without me. I called 2 state trooper who are in-charge of highway. I told them what happened. They were pushing the ball around. Didnt want to take the responsibility. What kinds of cop is that?

Now I have to wait until Monday to go back down Billerica to pay that jerk so I can let the REAL BMW roadside assisatance to tow my car back to Tulley. The car was still driveable but I didnt want to take a risk again since my rear tires are bad anyways. Hopefully, that jerk wont charge me too much money since it has been sat at his body-shop for 3 days.

Search for an address on Google maps, click on the desired address in the list on the left, click on "Send" in the description box, click on "Car" in the Send box, select "BMW" in the "Make" box, select "BMW US" in the "BMW Assist country" box, enter the email address of the BMW owner in the "BMW assist account name" box, maybe add a message, and click "Send".

In the car you select "Telephone", then "Messages", open the message, click on the checkered flag, and drive to the destination.

that's a pretty cool feature!

so many possibilities, don't know where to start. Maybe a better driver?

ML · 09-15-2009, 07:55 AM

Going straight fro the driver mod!.... I should look into that one too.

BlackjackMulligan · 09-15-2009, 08:54 AM

What a game last night!!

larryn · 09-15-2009, 02:00 PM

Sad.

Dropping your daughter off at the airport, to start college, is hard. Especially so, since she's going to be studying abroad. Just got back from the airport.

This kind of ties into BlackjackMulligan's post (it was an awesome 4 minutes of football), since I do go over to see her in a month, and am going to the Pats game in London with her!

amybang · 09-15-2009, 02:14 PM

While I'm sure she's excited, I bet she's also sad too.

*hugs*

amy!

Now, this situation is getting nasty since he used my account to do some investment without my permission. He also admitted that. Now I am going back to court tomorrow to file the case again. He also sent me a letter that if I dont take off the message, I will get in trouble.

explain

If you've been warned in writing regarding deleting a post and it has to do with a court case, DELETE THE POST! You don't want to provide any ammo for him, especially if things are going your way.

I have the same issue. It stayed at the dealership for 2 nights, and they don't find a long crank. Just gotta wait for it to die, I guess. How'd you blow your radio?
