Okay, now that the problem has a solution, does anyone else get the connection between the subject of this thread and G.O.B. Bluth? (you'll either get it or you won't...)

thanks all. i just got back from the dealer and they are going to have to flush the entire system 3 to 4 times. unfortunely its going to hurt me in the pocket. the total for a lesson learned is going to be just under $700.00. according to the dealer actually 2 different dealers its a pretty big job. i will not get my car back until tomorrow.

You cant' be serious! If what you saying is true I will complain to BMWNA about the cheap fix my dealer applied to my car. They only flushed the fluid once and (to add an insult to the injury) only charged me $84.88.

i know it sounds like alot of money, i was hasentent at first but when both dealers came back to with the same price i thought it needs to be done. most of it is labor but they have to take apart the hoses and flush them out to. i also have active steering in my car. i wish the manual would be more informed. when i look in the manual it was kind of late at night, there was nothing in the manual about the power steering resavior, and when i saw it and it said oil only i just figured it was the right place. also in the diagram in the manual it does not show you exactly where the oil filler is. it shows it from another model of a car. oh well.
