i have tow with my insurance, but they only tow to the closest dealer or shop. They don't tow it to your house (bs reason) because i wanted to tow it home initially..

That's sucks, when I tow they recommend me to take it to local shops but I always say no I need it at my house.

I have tow with insurance as well as AAA. I have never used the insurance one. AAA works really well.

Yeah, I tried that... considering i was 60miles away they refused. Luckily i was able to take it to a bmw indy, place had 2 X5, a couple 5series and a few mini's they were working on. And they did a 6speed (manual) swap on a 7series (according to their facebook page) so it's a legit place and not some random shop.

The main one is from where I live but they shut down in morgan hill and the next closest is not to far... but I'dk I went there with my x5 once and talked about the twin charged 850ci they built.

But they were dicking me around and I ended up not getting software installed because they had me sit there over 2 hours and told me to come back a week later Cuz they had made a mistake.

Checked my receipt from last oil change. Im around 10k miles since August. Didn't even realize, will be getting oil change soon.
Also cleared codes yesterday I'm new to the obdII scanners.
I just drove over 200 miles today and no check engine light came on...
Does that mean I'm fine?
