Nice!

Now I need to find out how to check my IC fluid, just in case!

My SA said to remove the engine cover and there should be a resovoir to look at. He said it has no sensors and is usually not checked during Inspection services which I think is really funny. Regardless, he offered to fill it for free during my ownership of the car if it ever gets low again.

His recommendation was to mention it to your SA when the car is taken in for scheduled service. Mine will do it free, don't know about others.

Just picked the car up and got a drivetrain malfunction for a separate issue in the BMW parking lot hahaha

I'm selling it and getting an e92 M3. It was in for work before I bought it and in twice back to back in my 2 weeks of ownership lol. Not dealing with this.

Has full service records and CPO warranty. Hit me up, I want my naturally aspirated V8!

Update: They found a misfire in cylinder 3, though my SA said it looks to be more than just an injector/spark plug issue. They're going to keep it another day or so to test it and hopefully get it done.

My M6 is going in tomorrow for SMG Pump issues. One day I had 3 cars, the next I have a completely empty garage lol

Funny how all these pop up after a full PPI on both cars, and a second inspection on the 550i after the intercooler issue.

Got my car back. No issues yet! It also feels a bit more powerful for some reason... in comfort mode! Not complaining at all

You have amazing patience and tolerance! Refreshing to see. Hope your issues are behind you and only happy miles ahead. If karma has anything to do with it, you should be okay!

I try. I'm not giving up hope yet, though this morning I got ANOTHER DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. Wow! This time the car didn't go to limp mode so that could be a good sign. Hopefully it's something small, but it's not going in until my M6 SMG service is done (since my dealer still refuses to give me a loaner )


So this drivetrain malfunction only comes up past 6k RPMs or so, then goes away as soon as the car is under. I'd take it in to read the codes but I already spent $300 on deductibles/diagnostics at my dealership already and would rather not spend another $160 on another diagnostic. Any ideas what this could be caused by? The car isn't leaking oil; according to my SA it's in great shape. Trying to figure out what's going on.

Yikes, sorry to hear that. I couldn't begin to speculate -- too new to BMW and the the N63. Hope your dealer can figure it out and give you some peace of mind.
