My Ride: On order for November Delivery - 550 !!!! - Currently own 1999 E39 540, sport pkg, premium sound pkg, black on black. Previous owner of 2000 M Coupe, 1996 328is, 1984 633csi, 1982 528e, and wifed owned 1999 528 touring and 2002 525 touring. Looking at buying 545 or 550 in fall of 2005.
Last night I noticed a fresh grease/oil puddle (small, like 1.5 inches in diameter) in my garage. Is this in any way normal? Or should I go directly to the dealer for service?

and after their instructions maybe drive it there.
If your car leaks that much oil it could be better to tow it to the dealers!
Did anyone at the BMW plant remeber to put the oil plug in???

Am very curious about these replies from BMW North America Customer Relations. As these forums
do not provide any info on the poster, the only way for BMW to communicate back is by email or PM.
Has anyone actually ever received the promised reply to the initial posting by BMW?
Also with all the issues posted here, you would think that they would have a bit more than 17 posts since 2004.
