[QUOTE="Bill Barber, post: 873904, member: 57910"] Noble, is not fantasyland, have never taken a car in for Non-warranty work. The key is, read and copy any TSBs that may pertain to the problem. Frequent sites and ask Questions about said problem as we do here. Than go to the dealer with some knowledge. case in point, my wife used to have a 540IT touring coupe (kid hauler wagon) Her rear lgts became intermitant and she kept blowing bulbs, pulled the inside panels off and the wires were frayed were the rear lid hinges. Took it to beemer, did not say a word other than the rear lgts are doing as above. Service writer says they need to run diags to find the problem sir, 175 BMW $s. I said B.S, come with me, opened the rear hatch, pointed to the bare wires and said, I think those wires are shorting, causing the problem, he red faced just said, come back in two hrs and all will be made right. You need to be proactive, do your reaserch. [/QUOTE]
