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?

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.

I hope you guys realize that officials at BMW read this forum, right? Maybe certain messages would be best sent privately...
