Good luck Val. Your advice on Vista worked out fine for me. Thanks again for that. That place is like a mall its so busy, but they took care of me. The rough idle was one of my issues, but "couldnt recreate it...". Whatever. I'll live with it for now.

Larry,
I am glad all worked out for you, they have taken care of our last 3 BMWs. I bought my car at Braman so they handle the service and maintenance. However, depending of the outcome of this visit, I may take it to Vista since I know everyone around and they have always treated me great and given me extras, we shall see...
PS: if you think Vista is busy, do not deal with Braman...on my previous visit it took me 1 hour just to get a loaner...this visit was a little better since I went at 2:00pm.

Now that's fan loyalty!

Glad to see someone picked up on that! He filed a federal lawsuit trying to enjoin the city/county from paying for construction of certain projects, including the new Marlins stadium. He said it was because of the process they took to pass the plan, but all the locals know that the project basically kills some of his business opportunities. I didn't see a reason to give more money to someone who continues to use it for evil. Go Marlins!
P.S. That house is in Indian Creek Island... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Creek_Island

Update:
Got my car back, they had it for 4 days. Most of it was done except the MP3 retrofit, they said my car was not within production date for SIB code. My car has a production date of March 2005, oh well...I can live with that, I have Sirius XM and 7-disc CD player. I went to the beach today and have a pounding headache. I will post a detail info and SIB codes for rough idle and sunroof noise...can't barely look at the screen!
