I tool my car to dealer several times for battery draining while sitting at night. I wake up every morning having to jump the car. Few hundred dollars later the dealer told me I needed an entire wire harness from bumper to bumper to fix the draw or short. They wanted $1766 plus tax to do the jub. I took My '00 740IL to Brake Masters on scottsdale and Mcdowell later that month (refusing dealer work and trying to sell the car as is) to check the brakes and I got into the conversation of what happened at the dealer. The owner of this shop was there and he was into BMW's especially vintage models. He tolled me ONLY to leave the car for a day and he'll figure it out somehow. Only few hours later he calls me and tolled me that my stereo is the problem thats draining my power even when the car is off. I was tolled that to repair this one won't be worth it as Stereo's LCD was also burnt. He ordered a used unit from a salvage yard and istalled it. Fixed my problems for $175 parts and $75 labor. I WAS AMAZED thank you so much. Oh ya the brakes work great too.
