Default Me So Happy- Props to Koalamotorsport!

I took my Ti in to Brett Anderson Friday morning to get my fogs wired in, oil/inspection done and troubleshoot a rattly rear hatch noise. Took his tech 6.5 hours and Brett himself maybe an hour to finish the fogs overnight so I had to come back again on saturday morning to pick it up. Only charged me for 2 hours cuz that's what BMW calls for. He also removed my interior hatch trim and we discovered 4 of the 10 mounting pins were gone. Luckily I had a whole bag in my trunk (what are the odds?), and after struggling for 20 minutes he finally got all of them lined up and popped in.

My car is so freakin quiet now I was smiling like a nut the whole way home. I love my car all over again. Think I owe him and his tech a couple 6'ers of good beer.

You should have told Brett you knew me. He would have charged you double.

LOL yeah hard to describe noises here, but mine was a dull klunk or click with a little squeaking. Happened over eneven terrain. Look around the edges of the inside hatch panel for gaps and stuf something in there or trap a towel between the door and sill to change tensions, etc. Or do like i did and climb in the trunk while your wife drives over every pothole in the road.

Steve- Brett already is not a fan of our cars and he hasn't even dealt with my cali roof! Hard or weird to work on in places I guess.
