hey guys, just got my 545i.well about a week ago. well anyways i was driving with my salt water for my fish tank in the trunk and it spilled. It made the car go berzerk, so i checked it out and there is a small box that was soaked, and burnt out. man you could really smell this one. What a nightmare! does anyone know what this MPM is? it is under the spare tire it is very small only a inch by two inch by three inch. I definetly burned it out, do you guys think it may of caused other damage? I guess i should just go and order the part tommorrow and see whayt happens. I would really appreciate the feedback. Thanks guys...

No problem -- it's tough to stay on top of all this stuff!

By the way, welcome to the forums -- I hope you realize I was just having some fun (at your expense, of course) before. My advice to you since you're new is to read, read, read, and of course, use search for things you're looking for.

When all else fails, just ask! Someone will be sure to chime in with either an answer or a link to an answer...
