I'm so screwed

Bought a 2011 X6 50i with a branded title from a dealership in Utah less than two weeks ago. On Wednesday I got the engine failure check light. Misfire on cylinder 1. I changed the ignition coil, but that didn't fix it.

Brought it to the BMW dealership 200 miles away hoping I could get the CCP. Nope. They said they can't do cars with branded titles. WTF. The exact problems the CCP was made for are what I'm having. Charged me $175 to diagnose. Been waiting 3 hours now on that. Hoping its only a spark plug. Sigh.

Tweeted BMW USA about it, and they gave me an email address to send my info. Who knows when they'll get back to me though.

Can't make that 'estimate' up...

Why would you think a Branded Title would get any consideration?

I would find a good Indie; that estimate is like a bad fookin with no romance.

I didn't have any knowledge about branded titles. Now I do. Never again. Called the dealership where I got it. Hoping they do me right. Otherwise going to get a friends mechanic to fix injectors, and sell it.

That quote is pretty insane. Injectors are pricy though, about 2k for the kit of 8. That sucks.

Fuel injectors at ECSTuning are $140.00 each.
I would not get them OEM.

I also agree with the other post.
Find an INDIE.

Thanks! The dealership I got it at is actually coming through. Having it shipped to them and doing the repairs.

A "branded" title is issued after a "salvage" title vehicle has been rebuilt/restored, and deemed safe for public roads.

Also called a "rebuilt" title.
