Here's the reply from my buddy Pete.

Thanks. Hope you had a good thanksgiving too. Tell to go to Murrieta BMW. Talk to chad the service writer. Tell him I sent him "Pete from Encinitas" BMW. If he goes further tell him to request Vince the technician to work on it. At least pay 1 hour if diagnoses to get it figured out. Then go from there. As for me doing it on the side. negative.
