Hang in there Lookin4Trouble I suppose the positive part is these repairs aren't coming out of your pocket...? Other than that how would you rate this dealers friendliness, service, and willingness to negotiate?

Thanks for the advice Sunny, I definitely agree with the "good amount of money." I guess the saying patience is a virtue would be applicable here. I'll take a step back from the excitement of getting a newer car (current is a 95 e36 (325i)) and start my list as adviced.
