      The big one? Or the infamous solder joints?

      No solenoid fault code thrown then?

          • Just must be on good terms with your dealer :)

            I've got too many spares as when needing 1 bolt, you need to buy 10/20 or whatever they come in.

                                Why? I have had very poor service from my local BMW dealer even when the car was under warranty. The BMW technicians at dealers generally have no to little experience of this era

                                of BMW so why use them (I would be better servicing the coupe myself ). I use Darren Woods who was servicing these cars when they were new and knows all the faults and I wouldn't

                                trust anyone else in the area
