With 5000 miles left until the warranty expires I'm making a list, checking it twice! If there is any inkling of a problem with ANYTHING, I'm going to try to get BMW to fix it. So far:

Valve cover gaskets both sides
BMW Flashlight, dead
Door seal RT side
Rear cup holders
Vibrating parking brake, slightly tighten cable
Alternator belt, cracks on grooves


Hopefully my friends (haha) at the BMW dealership will go to town and fix these items. Does anyone have advice on other potential problems, what they will and wont fix??? Or advice dealing with the dealer?

I'm aware of the: fan (resistor pack), wheel bearing, tie-rod end, melted cowl issues and mine seems ok in these areas.

Thanks,

John 1997 540ia silver and tits!
