#10. Need help with my M3 convertable..... - from JSDONE@aol.com
Top
Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2000 21:12:04 EDT From: JSDONE@aol.com Subject: Need help with my M3 convertable..... After 3 times this summer in the dealership my top has given me problems. So far the excuses have been, reprogram the computer, adjust linkage and realign the servo's.. All 3 times I have been out of town and luckly not run into rain... I'm thinking about selling the car. The dealership has left parts in the trunk and not put back together.. Is this a typical problem with BMW convertables and do the dealerships have a clue what to do especially in their put it back together as they found it procedures.. I cannot live with a car that is not reliable...
