When I bought mine (68k mi), the intake boot was torn. The dealer replaced it (a small rubber hose-type thing) for $300! Oh I meant the stealer. Anyway, they assured me the problem was gona and there were no engine codes. You'd think they'd take a second to drive the damn car to be sure theproblem is clear after all the money you spend. I just purchased an extended warranty thats pretty comprehensive for $2500 for 4 years 36k miles. Hopefully they'll get to the bottom of the problem. My last service was $2300 at Manhattan BMW.
