Disaster!!!!
Hi guys,
I have not posted for a while and was waiting to surprise you all with all the new mods. But unfortunately my car ran into some serious problems again, it was good for a few months but here we go again. 2 weeks ago the transmission failsafe mode came on along with the check engine light. After sitting at the dealer (BMW NYC) for a week they finally decided to replace the transmission (at only 56k!!). Thank god for warranty because the bill was 5k. Also asked to get 2 dents done and a detailing job. They cracked the coolant hose while detailing and was trying to charge me since its not covered under CPO warranty. I raised hell and they took care of the charge. However they forgot to fix one of the doors. So the car had to be brought back. Now lastnight the transmission + engine lights came on again then went away. A hour later the car just DIED on the highway while driving, steering wheel and brakes both lost power. It was not a good feeling doing 50's and try to pull off the road when you have no power assisted steering or brakes. The car got tolled back to the dealer and they are looking at it now.
Question, do you guys think this is the fuel regulator? Because the car starts right up, all electronics work but the engine sounds like its choking on gas...
Thanks for your help.
P.S. also have the noise coming from the leftfront suspension, think this is the control arm bushing issue. But the dealer wants 120 just to look at it and
CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS 950.00 + TAX
FRONT STRUTS 1150.00 + TAX
to fix. F that!
