I'm thinking i have an alternator or battery going bad, i know what kind of havoc both of those can wreck on german car electronics.....

So, what kind of stories you got, anything to top that?
i had a new napa battery blow up when i connected it and tried to start my bmw 745 turbo. shorted out the transmission control and ended up costing me 4 grand. thanks napa!
