Thanks again,...that makes total sense and seems like the logical fix !!
I'll check with a few of the area BMW dealers, and we'll see what they say !!
Also,..may have a possible ace up my sleeve, since my sons know a BMW mechanic who does some work on the side ( if that's the actual fix,..he might be able to handle for much less ) !!
We'll see !!!! ...Appreciate your insight in this matter !!!!
