When I picked the car up I suggested to the SA that BMW should be providing the dealers guidance since this issue was happening to quite a few folks while applying their recall. I got a follow up email stating that they had talked it over with all their techs and contacted BMW. |

Had my daughter's '07 328I cable recall done today; 105,500 miles. She has had it since 14,500 miles. No issues thus far as a result of the recall work. Car's dash was clean and everything works. Hopefully it'll stay that way. Bob Smith BMW in Calabasas, CA; SA Tig .

Recall
Had this completed and picked up my 335i yesterday. So far no issues. Cup holders work and everything else seems to be fine.
The last day of my extended warranty (transferred from original owner) and CPO is this Friday, so while the car was in, my SA had everything checked. Brake flush was done as well as the rear brakes replaced (rotors, etc.). All fluids topped off. They also found a leak on the valve cover. Total cost was $50 for the deductible for the valve cover gasket. During my ownership (July 2010) my 2007 has had the following done: Recalls: HPFP Wastegate rattle Battery Cable Under the maintenance/bumper to bumper/CPO: Battery replaced (a month before CPO was to start) Rear brakes/rotors replaced (twice with this visit) Front brakes/rotors replaced Wipers (twice) Brake flush Spark plugs Filters (air and cabin) Cup holders Intake manifold Fuel injectors (all six) I have been very happy with the service I have received at the dealership - however I am going to dread any other issues that may come up after the 29th. I will looking and searching for a reputable mechanic in the Irvine, CA area as I really like my E90. |

(Still a headache because of the costs/troubles I had leading up to this fix: towing, not starting, losing power while driving on freeway...) |

I have my appointment on Friday.
Today, I turned on my car and none of my instrument functions are responding (gas gauge, speedometer, etc). Also, my clock is displaying dashes. It does not appear to be a battery issue, because everything else works (radio, power windows, etc). After doing a bit of research, it appears that this may be a coding problem? I have not made any coding changes. Do you guys think this is related at all with the battery cable connector issue? |

My car will be dropped off at the dealership in the next 2 weeks for the battery recall. My car has some coded features, anyone knows whether the dealership will reprogram / erase the coded features while they are doing this repair?

Dropped mine off this morning, they are a little backed up, may not get back until tomorrow. I don't mind, I got a loaner 328i w/sport package to drive around in. I do like the new interior. Steering definitely feels lighter (to the bad) and the new motor definately has more lag, but pretty good acceleration. I did notice the motor just sounds loud and ticky when they started it up in the garage. I would have a hard time justifying $45k for that car with a 4 cylinder.

Hey Guys, brought my vert in the other week for the cable replacement. Now the top won't move at all. Do you guys think the problem is related to the service? Like the dealer cut some wires accidentally when they made the replacement? Thanks.
