But as HighlandPete said if you are that bothered you may have to throw loads of money at it. A good independent may be good but have nowhere near the pool of knowledge that BMW will have. I suspect the indie will use ISTA the same as BMW, the standard diagnostic software even for a dealer. The advantage a dealer will have is access to the PuMA diagnostics database. Are you suggesting that if they don't find a fault then any work should be free?
It probably can be fixed but it's obviously not going to be easy and you may have to rely on a sympathetic main dealer taking the time to look into it. You then you have to factor in labour similar to a solicitors hourly rate and then it becomes an economy of scales for a part that may only cost tens of pounds.

No, I am not suggesting that, quite the opposite actually, as I said I don't mind paying, I gladly paid the shop now, what I meant was I don't want to do the same, get diagnostics and possible solutions and yet again come empty handed, that's why I came to these forums for help, to find a solution or fond someone who has one. Im so sorry if I wasn't clear before, not sure if I make any sense now, but I hope you get the idea.
And regarding the problem you're absolutely right, I have found only 1 post on bimmer posts with same issue and zero replies, no idea how it worked out, besides this there is pretty much nothing even relatively close to this issue. I may be one of fhe first ones to experience this, but not the last one.
Also, I wonder what else can cause this if everything was checked and some parts even replaced. I found it very interesting that when I picked up the keys the guys at the shop said it's a mystery, because everything checks out. I am super curious to find out what is causing it.
I am sorry if I sound rude or something, I disnt mean to. I just love the car so much and this kills me a lot. Many thanks
