Had a problem on a 528i that messed up the alarm, ignition, windshield wiper (they would just stop), and a host of other issues including putting it in to limp mode while running down the highway. The dealer said the battery was bad and the unstable power could cause that.

I hit limp more about an hour outside Houston, limp to their shop and described the problem. The secretary identified it as likely the ignition switch but said they'd take a look. The mechanic drove it home (with my permission) to get it to do it again and had identified it as the ignition switch and fixed it by the next day....years later and the problem never came back. An old friend has taken Mercedes and BMW's to them for years and pointed me to them. I've had other good experiences with them but this one impressed me the most.


....now if someone just knew of a great shop in the Pensacola, FL region I'd be ecstatic.
