Subject: This is what the guy at BMWNA said when I called about the cluster repair... Author: bucks99750il as Buck 99 750iL : member since October, 2005 : 3229 posts Posted on: 2008-07-02 15:59:21

I said something to the effect of "I'm calling about the cluster repair I've read about on some enthusiast websites." And the guys exact words were "Ugh I just wish those websites would GO AWAY."

And when I was talking to the parts manager at my local dealer a year or so ago he said "Don't go to those sites you can really mess up your car bad listening to those guys."

Hmmm, insecure much?
