Check your local parts houses. Some (Autozone here in CA) have a diagnostic
computer you can hook up for free (with deposit). get the failure codes and
then the parts house can intrepret the error codes. In my case on a 2000 Ford
ranger we hooked it up and the error code indicated a rear axle sensor was bad.
I bought the 25 dollar part installed it and it has been working ever since.
A good bmw shop will have a gt-1 computer that will get right to the heart of
the problem.
