[QUOTE=attack eagle;312138]you dunno my stealer... they wanted to charge me $45 for a fuel filter...

same brand filter is $8 from pelican.

I dunno what it is with some dealers parts depts. The dealer closest to me inflates BMW list price from what i can tell and one of their countermen is adament about full price for over the counter sales. I can understand hosing the guy who wants to see every floor mat and valve stem cap in stock before buying but they alienate potential frequent customers as myself when they do this crap.
For those of you near Chicago, Patrick BMW in Schaumburg has a very good and fair parts department and offers a discount for club members.

As you can see, Attack´s right.. It goes thru the main light switch!

I'm pretty sure on my 540 the underbonnet lamp comes on whenever the bonnets up and the key is in position 1 or 2. It's entirely possible I'm wrong there, will check it out today while I'm eyeing the dodgy radiator...

Ok, mine only comes on with the side lights on. TBH you couldnt use it to work on the car in the dark anyway. But you might just see the light out of the corner of your eye before the bonnet drops on your head
