146300 mi | Windows stall going up, lubricated regulators. Problem remains, probably window motors. |
152000 mi | The front shields that enclose the engine bay and front bumper with duct work finally disintegrated and were due to be replaced. The estimated repair was $356.00 for parts and 2.0 hrs flat rate ($80/hr) at the local BMW specialist place (not the dealer). The driver's seat back broke and the car was unsafe. Hard to judge the repair price as the shop simply scratched their heads. It would require sourcing a 1995 M3 seat from a wreck with buffalo leather interior, rare as hen's teeth from what BMW told them. |
157000 mi | Driver's door outside handle does not work. Inside works. |
