I have a fantastic independent guy right down the road, but he's terribly busy and sometimes a little slow.

I walked out to my E53 the other day and discovered a MASSIVE dent in the driver's door. It's right at the molding line and pushed in about 1-1/4". The dent is about 8" across. I haven't started...

My 04 has this 'feature'. IMO it's the second most useless thing that BMW puts in for us.
Not to mention that once you get used to it, you find yourself unable to start your other cars on the...

The TCM reports and stores any...

I have an early 04 and have done a ton of research on this.

I'd highly recommend NOT a Range Rover.
