Thanks TwinsPoppa - that's what I am looking for to start with. You rock

Thank all you guys for jumping in. Just trying to get a feel for the BMW and for the community. I fixed most issues on my Dodges / Jeeps for years...now I am driving German and my mechanic for 14 years won't touch it . I have a new mechanic and a new forum. I am in new territory looking to make friends who know more than I do about my new vehicle.

Thank you all
