You need a new active tank.

PRECISELY the issue with driving around with a CEL on for weeks, months, years...issues crop up, and since the light was already on they just compound. The prior owner (aka "Friend") basically ran the car into the ground then sold it to you with ...well...kinda lies.

I really appreciate all your efforts, I do. But for a vehicle with 110 miles on it to be that bad, it's probably only going to get worse.
If nothing else, it might save someone else from making the same mistake.

So "same mistake" is buying a used car with serious issues and a criminal lack of care?


Hey, I know- YOU should find a friend of YOURS, see if they will buy it from you!

I know it makes it easier to blame the car- say it is brittle, blame BMW, blame anyone else other than where the fault actually lies.
