Sleepless, you've got a cool avatar...

Is it you, your girl or just some chick you met in Vegas? Is she Latino? She is HOT!!!

my ex GF, ....... she is Asian....

I hope you traded up, not down... good taste...

:)

Funny thing...... there is no trade value for a ex. GF ..:( but the new model I got is very low maintenance..... with nice lines, ..... its like getting a Bimmer design & performance with the reliability of a Acura....... :D best of both worlds....

Does this mean it would be replaced free of charge or it's just a bulletin that instructs the Dealers on how to properly fix the issue?

Sleepless, I take it your current girlfriend hasn't noticed the ex-gf in your avatar yet? lol

I could not find a picture of my girlfriend on this computer, so I used the picture of my wife... :)

"The oil separator kit for your engine is covered in a BMW SIB. Let me know if you need it. The part you'll need is the "Heated wrap with cable" 11 61 0 390 846"

mgruber, this part did not come in realoem, do you have more info about the SI or this part in general? Is it something that is available in Northern Belt countries, like Scandinavian countries, or Canada, or Russia?

Is this what you are talking about? it came up in Pelican and Crevier on-line catalogs

11-61-0-390-846-BOE Genuine BMW Part: REPAIR SET

(availability and shipping charges may vary). [More Info]
$452.50

Yep that's the stuff. Real OEM doesn't have a lot of stuff apparently. Dealers should be able to get it though, especially those in colder countries.

Well, I am supposedly moving in summer and by August I should be in Moscow... the car probably will make it there sometime in September, maybe October... In other words, it'll be getting cold... I am already talking to my friends there to see if they can recommend an Indy there - Moscow is filled with Mercedeses, Audis and a lot of black BMWs (i guess russian mafia likes black bimmers, good taste... lol...) So, finding an Indy should not be a problem, right? Especially ones that can fix bullet holes in motor... :) Not that I anticipate any in my engine... ha-ha...
