We shall see if they get it "right." I was being very general when describing the probelm. Fact is, their is a problem with their design - pollution challenge or not, that's what I expect when I plunk down $45k+ for a car.

More to my point, BMW has a history of engine and or transmission related problems that have nothing to do with "pollution controls." Point being, being BMW should have gotten it "right" during the R&D phase, not after the fact.

In the mean time we are the guinea pigs.
