Well, my baby is in for service and some other items, got to keep the stealership busy...
1. Oil change
2. 36K vehicle check
3. Front brakes
4. Retrofit MP3
5. Inside door handles are peeling off, needs to be replaced
6. Sunroof noise (not sure if they will do anything, but I wil put up a fight!)
7. Rough idle (SA tells me that they cannot do anything since I do not have any warning on idrive...) I got an SIB code for rough idle from another BMW dealership, I am curious on the outcome of this one.

Val,
In regards to the rough idle, have you tried spraying MAF Cleaner on your MAF? I noticed an improvement after doing this.

Thanks Roger, I am going to try that as I have a feeling they will not do anything about that...

Well, I'll wait and see the outcome when I get the car back...will figure out the next course of action. I may take it to Vista and see if they have a different approach on this situation, will keep you posted.
