[QUOTE="dzuljazz2001, post: 532128, member: 18107"] Greetings bro, your predicament seems never ending and I sincerely do feel for you. Frankly and honestly, when we knw so little abt parts, engine or wht not, YES, we can easily be the goat on a chopping block :(:(:(... From a stalled engine to sensor problem, the amount you paid for a minor glitch is indeed unacceptable. My e60 has been with me for abt 5 yrs now and I hv "tortured" the car to the max.
