Thanks BG…

I have a fairly advanced OBD II reader, and a really good idea what the problems are…

1. The cooling system is shot (water pump/thermostat)
2. Electrical problems related to the battery

Not to mention all (4) brakes are history ($1500 + on a BMW) – I could do this myself…

I should have bought the Avalon.

Well, at least I got it out of my system.
