i just got in my second winter storage car today with massive electrical problems due to mice eating into wiring. this one will prolly need a body harness as well($16k--ouch).

so a note to all you guys that store your car in the winter time, get some mouse traps.

that would be a base model Z4. the price is parts and labor--85hrs @121/hr.

the harnesses are so pricey due to a large amount of fiberoptics used in the byteflight can--airbag system.
