Bad first...Being the can"t leave it alone guy that I am. I wanted to check the fluids on my RT.(after all I have owned it for 6 days now and have done nothing but the inital "ANAL MAN"cleaning job). I was told by the dealer the fluids were fresh, but like I said, I can't leave it alone, so the very first thing I ever do to my very first BMW is check the F/D lube...WTF! The hex head is stripped out! My 6mm wobbles around the hole. I look at it for a while, wiggle the allen socket and feel it start to bite. I use a small hammer and gently tap it in untill it bottoms, say a prayer and turn. Voila! My long winded question is...Is this normal? I am going to the dealer tomorrow (115 miles away) to pick one up, as well as oil filters, plugs, battery tender cord and a few misc. items. By the way, the lube is crystal clear!
Good news...while cleaning I found some receipts for several items done within the last 5 months...New Battery, Tires, Brake Pads all the way around,
Brake fluid (this must have been the control systems too because labor was $198) Air filter, Oil, Trans, and F/D fluids all with synthetic...That Makes Me Happy. They told me the previous owner took good care of it, I guess he did.
