I just got back from a week in the Caribbean aboard a cruise ship. Looks like we picked the right week to go, although my grass looks to be over my ankles after all that rain last week. Weather was great down there!

Having driven the charger before, I'd rather have it than the piece of SHeet dodge caliber that I've got as a rental. The M is in the body shop, the AC in the truck is broken and I've got to drivehead over to Foxboro for work for the next three days.

Weird, I ran the idea by the wife and for some reason she didn't go for it?? Said something to the effect of "hearing about BMWs from one person is more than enough!!"

So once again i got an appt to bring in my car for service. This car is really beginning to piss me off. So Ive brought it in twice to get my HPFP changed but tulley and wagner both said its fine, yet I have long cranks really bad on occation. Last time when I got it back from wagner they broke the plastic bracket on the windage tray under the HVAC filters that attaches the wireloom to the tray.
So now whats happening is my check oil light keeps coming on for a second then turning off. and continously doing this over and over but when i check the oil level with the computer it says full.. I topped it off with 1/4 quart just to see if i was barely low but same thing happened today. I'm seriously considering selling this car cuz this is annoying the FUCK out of me with how much I have to bring it in for service:thumbd own |

I hear you man, I had a lemon BMW 125xi, my first car ever. Sucked. But turn lemons into lemonade, threaten to call BMW corporate, that worked for me. They gave me a better car for even trade.

i always write down my mileage before i bring the car in for any service at any shop/dealer, though so far i haven't noticed any crazy amount of miles added. that said tho, 5 miles at WOT with cold oil are much worse than 30 driven normally...i guess ignorance is bliss?
