don't hate.

Nra Thanks.... just left a message for my SA....We will see what happens...

Some more information...on my service receipt, the tech noted that the TCU was drawing 600mAs and causing the car not to sleep. Pulled fuses one by one and checked current draw. When he reached the fuse for TCU, the current draw decreased. Replaced the TCU and the draw was at 30mAs and within acceptable limits for sleep mode.

NRA just got a call from SA He stated that my car doesn't have a TCU. He also said that the mechanic know's were the problem is....THIS TIME..... The car goes to sleep but the radio comes on...... sounds like more BS to me. Will keep you posted...... Looking at the Lemon Law now......

Eddy, fwiw I was one of the few hundred that had that problem with our
'01, way back in early '02. The BizCD Radio would "wake up" and literally
come on, when temps dropped below freezing; thus, several dead batt.
situs. It took 3 trips to the idiot dlr and 3 attempts at a "download" fix,
but it's worked fine all these years. No idea if your prob is even in the
same ballpark, but not out of the question, imo.

News Flash...... Lemon Law Attorney is getting involved. More details to follow. Strong case under Magnuson Moss Warranty Act and Possible California Lemon Law. :popcorn:

It's all over BMW brought the car back and I'm now the owner of a 2008 Toyota Highlander. I'm gonna miss my Beemer ..... I have to admit BMW does stand behind their product.....I might be back later in life..... maybe after the toyota wheels fall off.... or I hit the lottery...... Good Luck to you all... Good Bye.

congrats! and buy / drive what ever make you happy.:thumbup:

Good luck. By the way it is Bimmer. A Beemer or Beamer is a BMW motorcycle.

FSETH..My bad I got my bimmer mixed up with my beemer...The Bimmers gone but the Beamer is still in the garage just waiting to be ridden.....
