@jafir, that radiator bleed screw website is just a picture and description, there is no buy button and the nearest BMW dealer is about 160 miles away. What do I do?
edit: There is a Mercedes Dealership in the town I'm in right now. Currently I'm not in San Antonio that is my problem.

The A pillars on the sides of the windshield are like that because the tabs holding them onto the body are plastic and broken. Most likely by the last person who replaced the windshield. They are available at a reasonable price from the dealer but are a pain in the a@@ to install by yourself. A good LR tech would know how to do it. Most window guys do not.
I just had my windshield replaced and took it to my indy LR guy who took it to a glass shop, The glass shop guys broke the tabs on the plastic putting them back on. My indy guy went over to the dealer and bought two new plastic A pillar trims and billed them to the glass shop.
By the way, the new ones at the dealer are a matte finish which matches the other no longer shiney black plastic perfectly.

As to the rubber mat around the gear shift, and the other rubber mats, on the dashboard and inside the door pockets... They are easily removable and clean up like new with a run through the dishwasher.

Got it.
What is this plug? There is one on each side and they are both fixed down and not just loose.

edit: Also, does anyone know of an indy LR tech in San Antonio worth recommending?

I added one to my 03. You need the button, the relay, and someone to reprogram the BCU you know it's there.
UPDATE:Just ordered the radiator hose bleed screw. About to order an Ultragauge. Any specific model on that?

I believe the ultragauge only has 2 models...the "new" one and the "old" one...get the "new" one...it wont say new but you'll figure it out.
