Wow, I love my dealer now...

Curious Joel · #1 07-01-2005, 01:05 PM

I dont know if I should put this in the dealer section or not, cause it's just kind of a useless rant. Anyway... I e-mailed Dave about my lights and he said I just need to have my dealer flash the ECU so it will recognize the xenons. I called the dealer this morning. Even though this is urgent and it makes it so I can't drive at night, they wouldn't give me an appointment until July 18th! So I'm screwed over past 8 PM for the next three weeks or so. They said to call back on Monday because they might be able to put me in early as a favor.. You'd think that since this is urgent they'd give me an earlier appointment, but... whatever.

Why don't you call Concord Motorsport as they have a GT1 as well and should be able whatever needs to be done in "re-programming" your on-board system. Another option would be the former Dreher Holloway BMW dealer (now owned by Ira)

Just a thought,

Thanks, Jan! I'm going to Concord Motorsport in a few minutes to make an appointment. When did Ira buy Holloway? I looked on the website and now it's called BMW of Stratham.

Yup their website is ttp://www.irabmw.com/i , they bought Holloway back in early May .

Sorry to hear that, at least it's an easy fix.

Good luck, you need some

This car is cursed! I took it to Concord Motorsport which is very good independent BMW sales/service place down the road. They've got one of those big expensive BMW computers. They said they couldn't do anything about it. They said there was a problem with the way it was installed. Ughhhhh..... I e-mailed Dave. I hate this!!!!

So either theres something wrong with the way they were installed, or there's something wrong with the lights themselves. But if it was a problem in the light, why would BOTH flicker? Unless they're both problematic lights and thats why they were taken off the original car, but I doubt that cause Dave seems really like an honest guy.

CJ, jes'my opinion from the back of the Peanut Gallery,
but maybe you, your car(s) and modded headlights aren't
"in the stars" as they used to say.
