MY CAR IS DONE!

txusa03 · 05-23-2006, 07:28 AM

Not bad at all from the photos. If you did that yourself, you got some skills...

06E90Rostik · 05-23-2006, 09:49 PM

Yes, I did it all by myself. Exept body shop for painting fender, hood, bumpers, and trunk lid. Puting on new parts is rather fun and relatively easy.

Someone noted trunk lid not aligned properly, I know I will work on it to make it better

Thanks for insurance advice

So whatd the mechanic say??? is she running yet??

06E90Rostik · 05-24-2006, 11:22 PM

UPDATE AFTER

MECHANIC

Got back from shop at about 6 was so pissed off that went to bed to take a nap. So at about 2 called towing to pick up my car. They came hooked it up (it was flatbed trailer) took me to shop. I was hoping that mechanic would fix it, so I paid towing and told them to go. Mechanic was hooking up his

devices one after another for 3 hours and nothing worked. Finally he told me that he don't have E90 software yet. I was pissed! :mad: He could have told me that on the phone, so I would not go thorough all this! So called towing again to take me back!

Anyway scheduled an appoitment with other BMW dealer that said for around $500 he will try to reprogram it. It's for next Tuesday at 7 am. Hope it will be final towing expense, already spend $200+

it should never come up If they ask u where u bought say from a private party!

06E90Rostik · 05-31-2006, 02:46 PM

IT RUNS!

Drove it back form dealer...simply OMG! Never thought it would feel that way. Defenetly better then 02 Accord. Anyway they cleared all faults exept airbag lights, because they said that I need to buy and install 4 seatbelt retractors, which will be $1550.81 if they will do it. Anyway I am still glad that at least it runs.

BTW like on third trafic light civic pulled up and guess what? I smoked him! (He had auto as well)

So how much the dealer charge you for the service? I'm glad that you can drive it now.

zamboni · 05-31-2006, 04:40 PM

So what is the total amount when the car is fully repair ?

06E90Rostik · 06-01-2006, 03:22 PM

Yesterday I paid $300 even for programing it to run, but still those seatbelts.

ADHD · 06-01-2006, 03:49 PM
