And your friend the "Master BMW Mechanics" word is law?
How are you or anyone else round these parts going
to hold BMWNA to a higher standard? Whatever truth
there is to be told will only fall on deaf ears spoken here.

As I said if the product as described by your Master BMW Mechanics
doesn't live up to your expectations why not move on and get
something that fits you expectations regarding reliability.
That's what I would do........
