For those who want an unbiased opinion

Can someone please post this infamous internal BMW bulletin TIS 24 07 03 so I can decide for myself? I do not understand why BMW would tell the dealers to do one thing and my dealer and BMWNA tell me something different.[???1] [/QUOTE

Seems legit to me. I have no reason to discredit it. Will you be so accepting of the opinions and point of view of others?

The discussion was taken away from the subject. Now it is back.
How long has BMW known about this defect?
Has the defect been corrected and confirmed IN WRITING from BMW?
When will BMW ALERT all owners of the cars above of the problem?

Kim[/QUOTE]
BMW release a statement confirming what the facts are please. This is not going away.
