hello all ..got a deal...i hope an a 92' sedan.with no idea of the intense response from bemmer owners. i like the leather ..and the lack of noise..but ...damm this thing has more buttons controlls and computers then NASA ..last nite i parked the car and tried to find the interior lite swich ...big mistake !!!! never did get them on but this moring the battery is dead an the power door locks refuse to let go 2 hours and atow truck driver to get in..good sequity..yah I know it SHOULD unlock with the key but i guess it needs some attention . after disconecting the bttery and charging it ,I can hear a moter or solinoid cycle through ,,then a moment later it cycles again. so now it sits unlocked and unpluged till I can trace the sound ..oh yah ..now the damm lites work..but the cycleing noise makes me wonder what i turned on ?? any ideas??.an the price for this toy was 500$ i hope it will be worth it..an has anyone tried an after market muffler i would like to hear some of the song of this beast..recamondations??

I think you'll love it.

Whereabouts is the cycling noise coming from?

it sounds like it is under the dash or on the firewall..my plan is to disable the systems by pulling fuses one at a time till the sound stops then trace the sound from there...it dosen't last long enough to focus ....so far..I think perhaps a motor for the heating controls..? but they should stop with the igniton off ....shouldn't they??..
