Ya'll never had to R&R a heater core in a 72 Volvo...Flat rate was 16 hrs, and I defy any MOFO out there to come close to Flat Rate.

Heater core on the new x5 is upwards of 22 hours. I honestly want no part of that.

22 hours? It didn't take that long to build the mofo.

yeah, but when you have to take it all apart before you put it back together.... well, that adds time.

I did it on a 335i once. Got it almost all the way back together and was going to put in the screen for the navigation. Couldn't for the life of me find the connector for it. Hunted for about 40 min till I found it down by the shift lever in the center console. Could not route it up with out completely removing the whole dash again. Why would you make that harness that long? It litterally came out of a harness up by the screen hole and dropped down all the way to the center console. I was a little irate at myself for missing it.

So it is the fault of engineering that you made a dumbass move and forgot an assembly step?

I am just kidding. Anyone who has worked on cars has made a dumb move like that before. I have my own instances like reassembling an auto transmission only to find a thrust washer in the rinse pan and have to completely disassemble the tranny again. It is times like those when my language gets pretty ripe.

Know what the cheapest thing in a BMW is? THE OWNER !

I'll admit it, I'm a cheap bastard... Maybe that's why I'm perpetually single.

Did they ever complete the recall on BMW's for the ones that drive down the road with a turn signal on for miles?

I guess they built the car around the heater core. ;-)

Do you remember what model that was? I had a '72 164E. It was my first car. Damn, I got a lot of speeding tickets in that little tank when I was living in TX and the limit was 55mph.
