Also have had no issues or messages with Comfort Access on my 08 535XI. So far I think it is a great option. Winter will probably be the test.

I have a pinhole leak at the top radiator hose inlet and bought some epoxy to repair it. (1987 BMW 528e)Although it slowed it down I still have a small leak so I thought I would stop by a repair shop and have it soldered. When I called a shop to find out if they could do it the guy told me that the radiator was plastic. I have worked on cars for a lot of years but I have never heard of a plastic radiator. Is this guy telling me the truth or is he just trying to sell me a new radiator? P.S. It is in the radiator (the leak) and not the overflow tank which IS plastic.

Replying to: ttitansfan (Oct 23, 2008 3:30 pm) The end tanks are plastic, the core is aluminum. Every car I've owned since 1987 have been equipped with the same radiator design- including my 1999 Wrangler. I'd just go ahead and replace it like Andy suggested. Don't pay over $275-at most!-for the radiator. The expansion tank should cost no more than $70.

Replying to: roadburner (Oct 24, 2008 8:39 am) Well, pay over $275 if you are gonna get on of those beautiful, over engineered, all aluminum beauties that I lust for, but can't justify.

AFter ruling out the 335i b/c of run flats I am leaning toward a CPO 2006 530i or 530xi with premium, sport (maybe) cold weather, comfort access, and nav. My main concern are do run flats come in the 2006 530 series whether it be 530i or 530xi. I would consider sport on either. I have had sport on both 3 series I had previously and don't mind the firmer handling. Secondly, what is the deal with i drive? I drove one this weekend and the dealer said it took 5 minutes to master. This one had nav and I drive a TL with nav and mine is very simple. This one seemed burdensome. Should I avoid BMW's nav altogehter? Is the i drive for the climate and radio a pain? I love dhow it handled but this contrapation seemed rather annoying. Thanks
