If it requires them to plug in their comupter to the car it will cost $$$. I do like all those features on my 06 silverado that I can customize myself.

Should have negotiated the price of the car and then told the salesperson that you wanted this done before you took delivery of the car. It should have been a gimme at the point of sale.

Just take it back to the dealer she purchased it from and have the sales person take care of it....we do more for our customers after the sale just to keep them coming back....especally if you tell them you will take the car to another BMW service dept for even warrenty work....thats a lot of money out of there pocket....for a $50 fix....my sales people have connections with all of our techs and service writers....anytime they need a hook up the techs take care of them....but they will always take a shoot at you...

I was told that a BMW is a service nightmare when it gets older ,,, only lease one and dump it when its over.

2006 745's are pretty resonable,,,,, but that comment has me holding off,,,, I dont want a money pit.

Ill be checking out that Metal posted to see what REAL owners are dealing with,,, Thanks !!!!!

Same here, I just picked up a second BMW

Salesman could have got it done for free, not the service writer.
