A Public Service Announcement
Been meaning to post this for a bit, but...work/life, kids, wife...you know...
Last Sunday, washing the car in 45 degree weather, and after driving it home from to self wash/drying/bit of touch up spray, I went to move it into the garage and the entire car lit up like demon Xmas with every error message under the sun. (Car is bone stock, FYI). I couldn't even shut it off for a few minutes.
Long story short, call BMW EM services, they talked me through it & after 30 minutes all I had was the check engine light till later that evening. Straight to the dealer the next day; they did the 1 year/10k mile service (at 5101 miles) & did that [edit]Body Domain Controller recall, which was apparently the culprit. They also loaned me a lovely X3 30i Sdrive which I was quite grateful for, albeit happy to return.
Picked it back up Tuesday afternoon, and been GTG since then (washed it today in similar weather...all is well), but I know there's been debate as to whether or not to do this because coding/tunes/ whatever-the-hell.
However y'all might want to reconsider. Just FYI.
