So I purchased my 2008 528i on 15 Sept with 50,300 mi on the odometer. It only came with one key so I order a new one from the dealership on Tuesday and picked it up today (Thursday). I put the new key together and checked it in the parking lot just to make sure it worked and it started right up. So I take off and not even 5 minutes into the drive I see my cluster had reset on mileage till empty, it dislpayed ------. So I look around to see whatelse may have been out of wack and then I notice the worse thing ever, my odometer was at 82,1**!!!!! This morning when I pulled up to work I had just hit 51,005 and now with this new key I'm at 82,145 or so. Has this happened to anyone?
