did not do my homework researching info on the M3W before getting bitten by the bug. I sorely regret it - when my car is not working - which happens way too often for this kind of money invested.
Yesterday went out, beautiful weather and not too hot, enjoying the blast BUT came back on a tow truck. Horrible noise, vibrations in the gear box, smell of burnt rubber, voltage drop. Suspect the alternator is gone. Compensator was replaced 500 miles ago at the factory. Not pointing fingers, just fed up with this saga of not being able to enjoy a new car fearing for a breakdown every time i go out for a ride. Should i stay or should i go?
