It's a lot of electrical stuff. Instrument clusters, axle seals, pinion seals, radio's, control arms, and the general overcomplicatedness that is German engineering. We had been replacing A LOT of catalytic convertors until they released a tech bulletin that has them reflash the PCM to expand the parameters that would set the MIL for a failed cat. There's other stuff...a lot of electrical, though.
