Is that this one? Broaddict basket If so I'll take it. I'm in Goshen @Kesker

In case anyone was wondering, I did not report that guy. Yeah it cut a little deep but like, its the internet, trolls gon troll. Been on forums long enough not to take anything too seriously.

I knew you were AI

You can tell this story was written by AI. The tell? Count how many times it says "quietly". No one uses quietly to describe anything.

Updates here?!

Well, it seems that anything that the tune would touch would be invalidated, but to your point the rest of your touchscreen/modules/etc would still be protected. Still, with how easy it is program things with Forscan I'd just pick something up from a junkyard and install myself if a module...

How did you get those panels off? I feel like if I force the plastic retainers any more they will just break.

Not for nothing, but BMW is definitely not the bottom of the barrel anymore in terms of quality.

Thank you. This is the exact thing I was thinking - that I would never have known had I taken it to a dealer. I'll email them - thanks for the lead!

After sleeping on it, I suppose the only thing to do is drive it and get an oil analysis. If it blows up, it will be very hard to deny a warranty claim with the issue documented. I'm still pissed, but as they say - don't cry over spilled milk.

I want to keep the filter in-tact to deliver to dealer. There was nothing obvious in the pan. Poured some of the filter oil out to inspect, very very slight sparkles. What I would expect to see from a motor during break in.

no, all free. The strip came out of the feed hole. Not tangled in the filter media

Good question. There is very slight magnetism to the strips. definitely not steel based, some kind of alloy.

Poor metaphor. More like, there is a crack in the foundation. Do I patch it and hope for the best or rip it and do it again? You can live in a house with no drywall, you can't drive a car without an engine.

The "probably" is the part if have an issue with. Well aware nothing is perfect. I've been working on finnicky european cars my whole life and had my fair share of heartbreak. I just expect more from a brand new vehicle with modern manufacturing techniques and quality processes.
