How many miles? I know the manual says that it doesn't need to be changed for 100,000 (50,000 under extreme conditions)

:DI hereby remit my "Thanks" that I received (wrongfully) and turn them over, greatly embarassed, to the bmwdiver. [sm=bustedsign.gif] I admit ... I had taken the thanks and was planning on running off to Mexico with them in hopes of never having to share. I'm so ashamed. :D
All hail, the BMWDiver [sm=hail.gif] |
