That's good thinking haus!

Yeah, except all BMWNA is willing to do is log a complaint, which will then be discussed with Crevier. End result? See what happens. Worse comes to worse I will sell my car and go buy a 550 or an MB E550 - either way without CPO, I'll get a 3rd party warranty instead.
Actually considering this as a replacement:
Could be

Or maybe this
Bye BMW

I wasn't really planning on buying my self a car until next summer, but if I have to get something now might as well get something enjoyable, preferably without an iDrive

What sucks most is I can't really sell my car until the iDrive works again. So since I have to fix it before replacing it I was thinking of getting this CCC Unit unless I find a better deal then this is the best I can find. Then just have to worry about labor and programming.

There is got to be a local place where you can get these parts used, although you would still need it to be programed.

That CCC unit in the link I posted above is from DDM Tuning, they have a shop in Huntington Beach.

Then trade it in and get the E55

Only problem with the E55 is you don't get the Forum support you do here.

But that power is so addicting.

LOL I would but who would take a car that doesn't have a working iDrive in as a trade? No one. So I have to fix it first then dump it.
