Hello all...just purchased my first 528 Touring and just joined your family. It is a very nice automobile, touring package, lowered suspension, xenons...except that my daughter just slammed my tailgate closed and busted my actuator. Now it rattles like an old Chevy. Oh well...looks like a trip to the dealer to fix this part. Does anyone know of a good indy shop around Naperville or Joliet, IL that can do this kind of work?

Mine is also Titanium Silver with Black interior. It is one nice ride. Question: Why does the Montana Leather look like it needs to be reconditioned? I just reconditioned it and it looks great! But other BMW Tourings I have seen looked dried out & cracked. I was lucky on this one. My old Mercedes & Toyota never needed such care? Is it a softer leather? More sublte dyes?

Yea, except I have the black trim and black leather interior.
