Since the exhaust is dealer installed and there may be a tsb on the brake
line take it back to them. Get the powerslot rotors and be done with it.
Someone on the list, I think it was Terry, got these along with Raybestos
pads. That's what I plan to do.

Subject: Re: DML: I need help-intake?
Hey Matt,
I just had my 99 318 Dak. in for service for the body bolts, idle search and
brakes. I told the dealer of a constant clicky sound and it turns out the
intake
gasket(think thats what he called it?) was just flapping back and forth
making
the noise. They replaced under waranty.
I do have an intersting story to tell though, I need advice on that is, here
go's: I ordered my dak and when it came in the dealers owner took it to
lunch(as
my salesman told me, when I asked why it had 22 miles on it) and thought it
was
missing something, so he stopped off the the muffler shop and told them he
wanted a flowmaster and duals out the back. They gave him a ride back to the
dealership and as they say, the rest is history. Well sort of, during the
above
mentioned dealer visit, (another dealer not purchasing dealership) they say
the
exhaust has melted my rr brake line and it has spit, and needs fixed. What
to
do? Should I go bug the piss out of the dealers owner or just suck it up and
have it fixed? Also, one last note, at a tick over 19k the rotors are warped
"from normal wear and tear" per my service writer, and had to pay $80 to
have
the rotors turned! What a crock! I am considering just buying something else
and
getting it over wih.!?
Any suggestions, short of murder or violence mind you would be appreciated,
thanks.
