Angry Now What???????????

After washing my car today, i noticed that the D4 light was flickering randomly(looked like i was turning the lights off and then on again, but i wasnt.) So i proceeded to tap lightly on the dashboard just above the speedo. And guess what happened?? The speedo jumped from 0mph to about 40mph with every tap!! It seems that this car DOES NOT like to be washed. My headlight still leaks and now this. Could it be a sign of a tranny failure, or just an electrical failure/short?? Anyone else have this problem (just tap on your dashboard above the speedo when the car is in drive and stopped)

I think i hear the 330Ci or C32 AMG calling my name

p.s. Is there any way to get out of the lease. I have a 3 year lease going, and im only 6 months into it??

Wow, you sure do have some problems there... i would go to the dealer TODAY and demand your money back as you obviously have a lemon.....

What the hell....Just take it to the dealer and get it fixed and consider yourself lucky.

Sounds like a bad electrical connection to your dash assembly. Take it to the dealer right away.
