My e30 did that 40 miles from Monterrey, Mx. Had if "fixed" at a roadside mechanic and limped into Monterrey at 2am took it to the dealer, who had never seen an e30 and sent me to their outsourced shop (which was very nice) and apparently had the same deal with every dealer in town. There were BMW, Benz, Audi, Ferrari, Jags etc. I waited a week before taking a bus home to Morelia instead of spending New Years 2005 in a hotel in Monterrey. Good times.
