My mistake - it is a resistor NOT a diode used. My mind was elsewhere when
I was typing.

Just picked up a used 2002 325ci that is still
covered by the Full Maintenance. Must the
service indicator pass the mileage reading to
qualify for an oil change? They recommend
you don`t run it past that mileage so how close
will they honor the free maintenance.(I`ll give
them a call tomorrow but thought I might
find out tonight.) First BMW, what a trip!!!!
Just tucked it away for the night.......
Thanks,
Joe
