got my beast back - missed it -

has been with a tech i know who does work on the side for 4 days now and it has been killin me.

List of ****e done:
resynced shifter buttons
fixed pano roof (again-small gear went out)
keyless go was not working all the time
bt issue - could hear, but mic was broken
replaced seat emblem on driver seat
replaced 3rd brake light
fixed memory buttons on door
found and fixed rattle on hatshelf

Luckily it was nothing major, but was killer was his Silver C43 on monoblocks with 55 N/A transplant - and of cousrse he told me he was selling - can't stop thinking of that car - damn him - if anyone needs some work done he has a full set of tools and STAR Tool. He used to work for Smythe, but not a lead at Stevens Creek BMW - says there is more work for him there -

I replaced my shifter unit (taken apart when I bought the car) would I still need to reprogram it? You say shifter "gate" what are you referring to?

the unit down in the tunnel - which holds the gear selection. I am told you need to plug in the Star tool to re-pair the shifter to the buttons.

if you are in N CA I can hook you up with my buddy.
