If you don't, you may be looking at a very steep repair bill that may have stemmed from a BMW "tech" using the wrong product. I just can't believe this type of crap goes on in these dealerships. Unreal...

Thanks a lot Mr. Wolfe.

I think the same, that is why I will do a Blackstone lab test after I get my car today.

I also follow your advise and created a new thread here:

Sure thing. I am anxious for you to get your test results back. Surely it is TWS this time.
