Can they be bought at the stealership...
Went over the whole car last night and here is what I found:
No engine oil leaks at valve covers or anywhere else. Small leak at output of half shaft right front...looks like oring maybe on half shaft? CV boots livin' on borrowed time. A few pixels out on the display. Would love to pull the valve cover to see the color inside.
Poked around in the glove compartment and found that it was a CPO to a 100k at BMW of Bellevue...would they have maintenance history?
Thanks again for the replies...the wife will be heart broken if I need to take it back to the dealer
One more thing, the drivers side xenon has a slightly different color than the passengers side...like it's not coming up to full brightness...a big deal($$$) or not...

CV boots should have been replaced by now. That's good that it was CPO--check with the dealer for service records. If there are some lighting issues that is to be expected at 90K miles in some form of fashion. Seems to be in good shape. There are a vast majority of us that have had little issues on the 3.0 (I6 is BMW's bread and butter engine) that aren't going to post on here--it's the ones that have issues that do so keep that in mind. Again, I would shop around some more with lesser miles.
