Suprise! My OBC is dead...

I've been reading all of the threads over at roadfly about people getting BMWNA to replace the OBC, where they only have to pay labor. However, most of these threads are 3-4 years old and I haven't heard any stories of BMWNA still doing this.

Does anybody know if I gave BMWNA a call, would they replace the OBC like they used to (where I would pay labor), or is that over due to the age of the series?

If not, I know it is an easy replacement, but where would be the place to buy one?

Thanks, btw i have a '97 850ci if it makes any difference.

I paid 50% parts and labor, the people or person you will talk to is an @ss, I bought a 2004 325xi, 01 M5 and the 850i, and guess what they don't care, no breaks on anything.

And the Dealer that I did business with, in Solon, Ohio don't even try to go there, they could give a rats @ss about you once you leave with there product.

I get much better service up here in Richmond, BC at the BMW dealer here.
