When I got there the tech said it would not take 3 hours but the car needed to cool and handed me a plastic block with buttons and metal, walked outside and said here take this and I will call you when its done.

A 2008 328i, Too bad the roads were all slush.

Called me in about 2 1/2 hrs. I pulled in, my car was parked in front, freshly washed.

He said your all set handed me the bill which came to $73.00 and said no charge.

Pretty nice for a 2001 X5 4.4 and an extended warranty, which after reading, does not cover most radiator hoses.
