I guess the wow factor would the fact that someone comes to this forum for advice, but then gets insulted. hmmmm, not very helpful of you.

Here's the part you missed or didn't care to ask.
I didn't know it was a pre existing problem until BMW took it all apart. The dealer where I bought it didn't say anything to me about a broken bolt or a screw being used. But seeing they put a trim screw in there shows that they knew about it and choose to hide it. I chose to not use the place I bought the car from to fix any more problems, because I didn't have a good feeling about their work, beside the fact they had gave me too much of a run around to do anything with the car. Yes, I should of returned the car right then, but my wife fell in love with the car and didn't want to give it up. Sue me for making my wife happy.
The reason we had replace the EGR cooler the first time was because it was rigged up with a string and spring to hold it open and had exhaust fumes coming into the cabin.
I bought the extended warranty to take care of any issues that might come up that I didn't know about. Not to cheat them. Besides I told them about it and tried to cancel the warranty and they stayed on the phone with me for 45 mins talking me into staying with them...... sounds like I was out to cheat them, huh?
I didn't go into that much detail before because I didn't think it would help to fix the problem I'm facing.
Since I haven't gotten any advice from anyone that has dealt with something like this. I'm beginning to wonder why I joined this forum. Maybe I'm just not welcome here and I should go back to Bimmerfest.com where there is actual people that want to help others.
