![Thumbs Up [thumb] [thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif)
Its been an interesting turn of events... It seems that my engine cooling fan and its electronics had given up the ghost. My fan was therefore never tuning itself off after engine shutdown which in turn was drawing on the battery. I took my bimmer to my Arlington Independent car dudes and they replaced the fan, shroud and its internal electronics for a mere $724.00 which was not what I planned to spend that day. I was hoping it was just the battery. My bimmer has finally started costing me money after 150,000 miles of unadulterated driving bliss. I have replaced the clutch, transmission, engine fan, shocks, struts, springs and A/C Compressor. All these things wore out between 150,000 and 170,000. I love my car and it's paid for... I can also list a whole lot of things that have not worn out. I'll just keep the dark side down and the shiney side up and go for 1,000,000 miles. That's my two and a half cents...
Happy Motoring...[driving2]
