the frustration is mounting, the parts I got were not the right ones, BMW messed up and packed the wrong stuff... it's all moot, however, since my master is f'd up...
Lucky me, I know a guy just around the corner who has a parts bike
... man, am I glad I kept his number! I tried both BMW Dealers within reach and they do not have one in stock. Ozzie's BMW in Chico was jumping through HOOPS for me, though... I can only highly recommend those folks from the exp0erience I made today!
VERY HELPFUL!
So, tomorrow I am going to meet Cameron again and I'll be getting Calipers (just in case) and the front master... if that does not fix the problems I am having, I'll go back home...
