DPF has been cleaned and the engine is running smoothly, I am confident we can make it 1600 miles to Portugal.
While on the ship from NJ to R'dam the shipping company had disconnected the battery and the rear suspension had gone into transport mode, so had to find a shop willing to reset the EHC on a Friday afternoon..... I could not get INPA on my laptop to connect with the car. :-( At last I found a small BMW specialist in Leek (NL) who reset the EHC and calibrated the ride height in 15 minutes. This morning I went to check the tire pressures and discovered that the driver's side front tire valve had snapped off just above the valve insert. It was holding pressure but looked quite disconcerting. I assume this is caused by strapping down the car in the container. Another emergency outing resulted until I found a small tire shop where they happened to have a BMW valve stem. I got them to tweak the rear suspension alignment as well. After that I finally got around to mounting the tow hitch. I posted a picture below to show the deplorable shape the bumper cover was in. I had to buy some special glue to reattach the DSC sensors. Two of the sensors needed to be glued in and all four of the brackets that hold the top of the cover to the steel bumper piece. My son installed the western Europe map but I still need to tweak the radio settings as per my earlier post. Tomorrow I finish the wiring for the hitch and then I can load for the long drive south. The shipping has been more complex than I expected and it caused some unexpected problems. Still, it is good to have my own car, renting gets old at some point.

This right here for me would make it all worth it. Having your own car in another country must be a good feeling! As far as bulbs, try powerbulbs.com . They ship all over and are based in the UK I think.
