Im taking my car in for one last final inspection before my warranty runs out.
1. When my i start my car and put it in drive it is surging. It sometimes has a rough idle. I told them about this and they are going to check it out.
2. My eyebrow doesnt turn on right now, so i have to tell them to do a software upgrade correct?
What other things should i try to get out of my final warranty covered visit?

My Ride: 2011, X6 Hybrid . Alpine White , every option. 20" Conti' NON runflats,OEM trunk spoiler , LUX V3 AE's , HP Thunder Fogs , custom front bumper reflector delete........
Tell them the brakes squeel and grind , and the tranny has a light clunking sound. This will get them to do a thorough check and will stand up if something goes wrong with either of these 2 components after the warranty lapses. GL

Also tell them that your transmission has been shifting rough and see if you can get a software upgrade for the tranny. Can't hurt
I don't know if a single sofware upgrade does both or if the transmssion is seperate though...

Yea a software upgrade will fix the eyebrow problem.

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny.
2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter.
Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.
I hope you guys realize that officials at BMW read this forum, right? Maybe certain messages would be best sent privately...
