Interesting, but I'm not surprised. What the technician did may be OK, and I suspect it's very common, but from what I've read, it isn't optimum. However, it's hard to say how many people go to the trouble of somehow getting their hands on the correct grease, especially considering that it's very expensive, to do this repair. I suspect not many...

Wow, I thought BMW of Austin was expensive - $105 for an outer kit is downright extortionist. I got mine through Pelican for $24.50 apiece. No wonder we call them "stealers."
