After 2 years my 335 is still brand new looking inside, her 3 year old X3 looks like its 5-6 years old.
She ended up buying that electronics cleaner spray and spraying the buttons with it. She said they all worked fine now, of course that wasn't the case as a few days later the radio buttons are stuck again, however the traction control button is working properly which is awesome. I will probably take a toothbrush this weekend and try to scrub the radio buttons with rubbing alcohol or that same electronics spray. |
If its the wife's car, you really have no recourse at all, in fact, if she said its fine and don't want your help anymore, I would leave it alone. If you mess it up, you will never hear the end of it. One thing I have learn over the years, if the wife is not a car enthusiast, the husband probably should not try to make her into one. A lot of females I know are happy with driving around in a ordinary car and not having to take care of it and let the kids trash it. Just like us guys who are happy with a few pair of shoes
