My Ride: 2006 525i Jet Black, keep my passenger seat extra clean after I(married/3kids) drop off my new mistress(half black/half indian gives great head even though I have Jock itch/yeast infection), don't want anything leaking from her crotch after I have my way with her

Hi All,

I have been a new BMW owner now for almost 2 months. My car has been in the shop more than with me. (Winshield stress crack, key not recongnized, idrive resets, etc)

I have reached the end of my rope with a ongiing problem with the IDrvie and things turning off and the door chime,

I have an issue where the radio will not turn off from time to time with the key out of the ignition and doors locked. The idrive system resetting intermittanly, etc, etc. Door chimines going off when getting out of the car as iff the lights are left on or the key in the ignition.

Has anyone experienced this with their e60. Mine is a january build and has had a software upgrade when adding the aux input. The problems has existed since day one.

Now my dealer has had the car for a week and say they have experieced the problems and are going to replace the ignition componets. They think the system is not recognizing the key or if the key is removed. Any experiences like this please let me know.

I am begining to think I have a lemon with all of the times I have had to go to the dealer in the first 2 months of ownership

Stooge fan which dealer is working on your car Broad street or Midlotian, if it is Broad street get away as soon as possible those guys are jokes there and i only buy parts and accessories from them if it is the Midlotian store may not get fixed the first time but your load wont be wrecked. By the way were are you in Richmond ilive in eastern Henrico Varina area may be we could hook up for the cars sakes that is.

well, if that's the case, get a big cut on his/her salary then . $50/month is a bit too much, huh [attachment=7121:attachment].
