My folk's car is a real mess. Never seen this one before!
So I go to detail my parent's relatively new (2004) BMW 325xi for them 10 minutes ago while they are away in Mexico celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary; and when I start it, EVERY idiot light went on, the temp gauge SHOT up to the red zone and the car began to idle real rough



It'll be a nice present for my dad when he returns and I inform him of the good news

A perfect way to get reaquainted with the daily stress of life after a long, relaxing vacation.

Luckily, BMW has an awesome maintenace program. Won't cost a penny.

It needed 3 new sensors

Works fine now.

I had fun cleaning the grease on the door handle, carpeting and steering column from the BMW technician
