Have you asked them for a print out of the diagnosis report. When the light comes on a fault code is stored, ask them what it was. www.LTSTuning.com | ||

Best part was BMW said they had 3 cars in over the same weekend with the same problem. They must know there is a problem with the engine because they even gave me 80% off the cost of all the parts even though the car was out of warranty. That was offered without argument too!!
