I always thought that forums such as these are the place to get help from people more experienced than yourself. My experience so far is that the main topics are big wheels and over-the-top stereos. No kind help or understanding that a small problem for one can be a major for another.

I have asked two questions (after searching) that surely some forum members must have a cut and paste answer to. No reaction whatsoever. I sadly have to conclude that the BMW dealer is more helpful. Go figure.
