That is unfortunate, getting a new car is supposed to be fun, it seem like there is always something that takes the fun out of it.

Try to enjoy your new ride.

I was annoyed that I couldn't find it. I took a little bit of time with the flash light, but I too was able to find it. It is obvious that BMW doesn't even want us to check our own oil, but I like...

In my experience, with an older battery 40 degrees is enough to have an effect.

You can also see if a pep boys, or Batteries Plus type place can test your charging system and your battery.

I got the "Smart Phone" option and I think it is kind of a waste. I have not gone out to get a "cradle" for my phone (original iPhone) because it won't work with my wife's phone (iPhone 3G). The...

I think your CA is being conservative, because you won't be pissed if it arrives early. Mine took about a month to get to the Bay Area after it was completed.

If I leave from the garage the lights come on, even when I am parked in the shadow of an overpass the lights come on. I just turn them off.
