if you have a bmw 335i

[That Nice Guy Beck!]

don't disconnect the battery and then close the trunk. that is all.

[Rev. Millertime]

No emergency release cable.

Is the battery in the trunk on a 335i?

The new thunderbirds possibly have the same problem, except for a emergency trunk open behind the drivers seat.

I should think if ford would think of a back-up plan, bmw would.

One would think...

Are you suggesting he sets the car on fire?

It never hurts.


A few more fires under your belt and you'll catch up to me. Kinda scary, no?

A co-worker was stupid and locked both his keys in the trunk of his Z4. Dealer had to order the keys from Germany after he had to go to the DMV and get a temp license (wallet in the trunk) and new registration papers. Then they wouldn't spot him the $80 for the new keys after they already had possession of his car and they knew his wallet was in the trunk. He had even bought the car from them and they still made him jump through all these hoops.

Lucky for him he just bought a 1098 so he's switching to that as his primary for now and selling the Z4.

I don't care who you are, that's a bad day right there.

I took my car in for its first oil change and BMW found the car was chipped so they re flashed the ECU and made it stock again (50 hp loss)
so I had to disconnect the neg terminal for one hour so the ECU could re adapt to the chip, I closed the trunk. A swifter duster helped me get it open, dont ask.

Why the make the beast with two backs would the dealer alter the car without permission from the owner?

[Got Duc]

I agree. Why would they do that?

not on purpose the key is bluetooth they plug the key into some thingamajig and it automatically uploads software updates which resets the cars ecu...

[Porsche Monkey]

I disagree. They would have seen that the car was chipped when they plugged into it and should have left it alone. The service interval light is controlled by a different computer than the engine computer which is what you chipped, so there should be no reason they had to change anything. Sorry, my $.02
