skipper400, you should not make assumptions about people spreading lies, just cause you got lucky. and btw, it ain't over yet, cause i did the fuse and a month later the actuator went. I run into people that are "enthusiasts", or just trying to justify blowing their money on an expensive car that breaks, all the time on these forums. If you would have read the posts, you'd know that there are too many of these replaced actuators for it to be "silly issues and lies". the guy that spent $700 to get his POS locks fixed, does not think it was silly. Neither does the NTSB, where this issue has been logged and is getting looked at due to safety concerns (everyone here should be posting on that site, as they are interested in continuing to collect statistics on this, takes 5 minutes, or you can take your chances and pay the $700 BMW lock fee if there never ends up being a recall)
I have looked at A LOT of BMW's with lock/window issues and own 2 right now. I just did the driver actuator on my E90 myself. took about 2 hours (I'll get a post on the forums with pics when i have the chance). What *IS* silly is that the engineers over in munich can't get their act together with the locks and window regulators. my E36 M3 and my buddy's also have lock issues. E46's are notorious for window regulators and the central lock module... i won't even get started with the X5's...
BMW is a company, not a football team, dude. if you wanted a car that was problem free you should have gotten a toyota or a honda. put down the "driving experience" mug and deal with it.
