Interesting. So it seems they make a habit out of selling crap and then ignoring you. Well I'm not going to starve without my €900, but I fully intend being a complete pain in their arse for every...

I never did find a solution. I didn't replace any parts but I did re-seat all connections. My radio still acts up sometimes but it's quiet rare now. I'm living with it basically.

I paid €75 for a new genuine BMW thermostat last year and fitted it myself in a couple of hours. $1,100 is WAY too high.
