Derek is on a distinguished road
I don't recall the mileage we had on our but it went into limp home mode around that same mileage and I had it towed to the dealer. They reprogrammed it and ran the first update that was released.... it seemed better at first but now it is a lot worse than before. I'm hoping our service interval comes up soon and I can get it updated again then. My 07 525 with the 6 spd auto is sooooo much smoother than this POS. We'll see what this update does later.....
