Hey there jnx! 3 service visits,,,that is harsh. What are the problems, and what model Bimmer exactly?
I think it is odd/horrible that we would have to pay to access serice repair bulletins. To me, a logical thing would be to enter the last 7 digits of our VIN numbers, and the system could verify that we have a car under factory wrnty., instead of charging us $25.00.
A trouble free CLK 430! Trust me that was amazing luck. I have had at least 4 visits to the dealer with my 04 330cic, and I still feel better about it that with my Mercedes. The build quality, performance and looks of a new BMW are, in my opinion, far superior than a new MBZ.
Good Luck!!!!!!
