Thanks Findog and FSETH...I am going to pursue the threads on the Dead pixels...it is a bit irritating to look at but at least it does not affect performance...

This is our fifth BMW and unfortunately we have had a horrible time finding an INDY to service them...we live in the burbs of Pittsburgh and there are three dealers within 50 miles of each other, but two of the three have not so good reputations...Man I wish I was a BMW tech as I think you could make a bundle in our area...I have noticed more and more bimmers in our area in the past few months...I wonder if just ANY indy could pressurize the cooling system or would it need to be someone very familair with BMW??? Thanks guys...I am sooooo ticked that I cannot drive my x5 unitl next week...
