diyanich is on a distinguished road
It just happened to me today.
I dropped my family at a camping party and was heading home,but I felt an excessive pedal travel at the first stop sign I felt that here I ran into problems.
I was able to make it home safely,X was still stopping with the pedal in the floor,so when I get out I see a fluid line on the driveway.
If it wasn't because of a Sunday,I would right away go and buy a different ride,not necessarily BMW.
Since April I am fixing that and that,last evening I was changing freaking level sensors,why...why on Earth they keep having these crappy hex ,or whatever you call it,heads bolts that strip the head right away?The first one took about 2 hours to get changed.The front one had a broken harness,it took around 1 hour and a half to solder/seal the connection(somebody tried fixing it before with no luck).At least I was able to fix it right.So Finally I have no freaking SELFLEVEL INACT..Had it for 4 months,got sick of it.Now my right side is lower,before it was a left side.
And before that a cooling system nightmare,which is not finished yet.I still have to swap the secondary thermostat and X rings for the heat exchanger.
Endlessssss.
And now brakes...front rotors changed last year along the calipers,left caliper failed 1 month later the warranty expired....
Struts,control arms,tie rods etc etc etc and much more to be done yet.
Transfer case's chain is loose,I can hear it slamming.
Is there an end?
I am thinking of going back to something less complex,really,this is really overwhelming.It's our only ride,I wish I had a spare car,in that case I wouldn't mind take my time to DIY the way it should be done and not an indie stile,fix one-->break three...
