Mackskibum- I appreciate that, and as I stated I do appreciate the help everyone here has shared. I didn't mean in any intend to rekindle some pre existing chaos.
I am a toolmaker by trade, and every single vehicle I have owned, I have been able to fix 90% of any issues myself- every vehicle I've owned I've been able to find a corresponding "Haynes" manual, to help me see what I should be looking at. This is the first one I have owned that I have not found anything on hard copy to reference from. So needless to say I am a newbie to this forum, and as such working on newer BMW's. I am no stranger to getting my hands dirty. I am way more daring on a vehicle that I drive daily than I am on a vehicle my wife drives, which is why I joined this site. I will take as much technical advice and direction as I can get my hands on (plus if there is a manual available, please let me know).
