When we installed the battery it was registered and the bsd was coded for the agm cell battery so no issues with battery drainage there.

2. On the part about the trans pan, alot of times with higher mileage cars where a trans flush was not done in the past the fluid inside the transmission contains wear particles that essentially keep the whole thing together so we refill with the old fluid plus 1liter of top off for good measure.

3. For coolant we just hook up to a shop machine and it flushes the system, it handles the dilution automatically, same for the brakes its just a matter of connecting a small hose to the bleeder and something to catch it.

4. and just to say, I work for BMW of Manhattan thats how I got the killer deal

You got a really nice car according to the Window Sticker!

Hope you got it at a good price ...

Did you do the dreaded coolant pipe leak check yet?

As far as your responses above:

1. ... high CCA is irrelevant. Only Ah matters. But it sounds like the car has been coded for that battery, so you should be all set.

2. mmmm .... (do you charge the customer for 1+X liters as well? Don't answer that, you may get fired ...)

3. mmmm x2 ....

4. Remind me never to have my car serviced at BMW of Manhattan ... I've heard stories about that place. Now I know why.

But glad to hear that you got a killer deal.
