TSB - I am assuming this means "technical service bulletin" ? - This is the problem I was told I have on my 2001 X5 3.0, by the local dealer, and that to would be $3,200 for a repair. What other options do I have, if any ?

For the Luvv' a' Pete, if I have to pay $3200 to replace $15.00 dollars worth of parts, I will never buy another bimmer again, and I have 2.

Just got my car back for the same problem. Tomorrow I get the paper and post exactly what it was, but basically it was some valve leaking freon. The CPO covered it.
