Profit driven greedy company?

So If you blow a fuse, it's a complete "module" and it had to come from Germany

Even in my relatively short career I've seen some sketchy stuff, but this is seriously criminal.

This reminds me of story one of my instructors told us in tech school:

My understanding is that some Jaguar ignition system a while back actually just used a Chevrolet ignition system module inside a Jaguar branded module encasement. So he would just replace the Jaguar ignition module with a Chevy to save his customers money.

If this was indeed true, the more things change the more they stay the same I guess ;D

Not the most popular at the moment, what with a protest group camped on the front lawn of parliament.

BMW show in the parts catalog that it is a fuse box and show a diagram of the circuit and replacabe fuss.

Also I do not think this cr has ever been serviced at a dealer

I think this is the picture from the parts catalog that Logic is talking about (image attached). Can the cover that is just over the fuses be removed? It looks like there are some relays in there are well, that do not look to be replaceable.

I would concentrate on the exhaust back pressure and intake oil deposition and sooting given the apparent service history of this vehicle
