Happy ending at last!!!!!!!!!
the love and hate story began last FEB 2005 when i purchased my dream car... since day one i was experiencing some noises coming from the front end of the car..
the first visit to the delear and after one week they informed me that this is normal.
In the second visit they changed stearing rack.
3rd visit they changed the axe holder.
4th visit they replace the stearing oil pipe (Which they broke when they were changing the axe holder)
5th and the longest 34 days, they changed again the stearing rack, the shock absorber rubber support till they finally found out that the noise is from the aluminum plate (protection shield) which is under the engine, when it over heats it deform and start hitting somewhere (!!!) causing that terible noise...
during this period i met with BMW middle east, they agreed to exchange the car by a 530 (brand new) of course i did not agree (no hurt feelings) till they finally knew from where the problem is...
Today the car is finally back, i am very happy that the noise is finally over, the ride is extremely beautiful, the 19.1 is now installed. thou i found very hard time with the dealer but i still beleive that the 545 is THE most beautiful ride ever
regards
