Tricky's got it right, aside from the $500 rape, I got off clean with BMW. The dealer even said when I picked up my original recall letter today, that I was "lucky", and that if I had waited another couple of weeks, I'd be spending 2 grand to replace the cluster.

Which number is for getting bent over? He did that too; but
I hear he was okay with that one.

Thx for the replies guys..the problem is that I am buying mine in March. So I am looking at Cluster Change and the DRL as well as the RIV letter and import fee's. As I mentioned above I now will rethink the purchase..

I got BBYZ.

Cool - my plates on my 330Ci started with "AMBB", which I always thought stood for "A Man (with a) Beautiful BMW"

BCLS - how about "BMW Clearance Letter Survivor"?

Well boys - I'm happy to report back that my car is now officially licensed and on the road here in Ontario. I got everything finished on Thursday afternoon. Once we get a nice day and I have the car nice and clean, I'll get a few pics taken and post them.

Thanks for the ongoing support during this difficult time!

If anyone sees a Montego Blue 335i Coupe driving around the GTA with license plate starting with BCPF - gimme a wave!
