Perhaps deforestation is a good thing after all.

You should have the dealer have a look at the car. Do you still have the leaf? It may be useful to present it to the dealer as well.

The initial impact of a leaf falling may be negligible, but just think of what might happen given some time!

Just my 0.03

Is it just me or are some of the posts here sometimes a little TRIVIAL??

I'm not complaining, I always figure that if nothing major is going on in my life, thats a GOOD thing, excitement sometimes is overrated! But still sometimes I just wonder why did this fellow member just post this thread?? (As some of you are doing right now!)

Yeah, but which is faster--a falling leaf, a 550, or a 535?

My Ride: 04 545i - Titanium Silver/Black, Sport pkg, Comfort Seats w/ Lumbar, Premium Sound, power rear sunshade, Adaptive Xenon Headlights, Steptronic, Park Distance Control, Fold down rear seats w/ski bag, Aux jack, 6-disk changer, puddle lamps... Engine: Custom Remus cat-back exhaust w/chrome square tips, K&N Air Filter, Charcoal Filter Removed, Sprint Booster :-), 50/50 mix of 91+100 Octane, EuroRev ECU Remap (coming soon lol), Dinan High-Flow Throttle Body (coming soon...maybe lol) Interior: Portable Sirius Stilletto 100 w/car kit, Garmin Nuvi 680 mounted below rear-view mirror, LCI-style I-drive knob, Dark Poplar Center Dashboard Trim. Exterior: E60 forum clings, 5% rear tint, ACS roof spoiler (painted black for distinct look against limo tint), ACS trunk spoiler, ACS add-on front spoiler and rear apron (awaiting installation), "18 Black Staggered BeBeS Style OER (emergency replacement for cracked sport 124 rims), black kidney grill, white accessory lighting (including license and trunk lamps), Angel-eye upgrade, AIB xenon-matched fog lamps, AIB V3's on order, red rear reflectors

I think CIP 307890.03033 should activate the leaf repellant feature (but it will cause idrive to fail, loss of active steering, loss of engine power, loss of inactive steering, loss of car, loss of bank account, and, ultimately, loss of babe(s) due to the preceeeding).
