Still though, I know what it is like to lose confidence in a piece of your equipment. Sorry to hear your ownership was not all that you had hoped for.

From my searching on BMW forums, I haven't seen nearly the issues (or at least major issues) I've seen on P-Car forums. Also, with an 03 BMW I'd still have around 3 more years of warranty (6 year, 100k miles).

Airbag light came on about a week ago, took it to the dealership and they reset the light for free. Thay also quoted me $717.00 to replace the recepatcles and wiring harnesses with the gold ones. Since the airbags DO work with this annoying condition I guess I'll live with the light if it reappears. By the way the car has developed a slight RMS leak and the oilpan seal is wet as well. Mechanic said no big deal at this point, just evaluate if condition worsens. Currently about two drips overnight each day.
