Any one ever had this done?

Never heard that one ..

Sounds like BS to me. Gave me this could also cause the other errors that came up.

Find out tomorrow what the result of the overnight drive is.

Update - They cleaned the contact the group wire was connected to and the car runs and drives great.

BUT! - The dealer gave me a gift. I have a bad scrape under my bumper like if someone parked straight to a curve.

They are reviewing the photos now but since I did not see it until after 2 days not sure if they will try to screw me. They dropped off the car on a Wednesday I just parked it and did not get to drive it until Saturday which is where I saw the scrape.

Not sure what are my options but I definitely do not want them to take the vehicle back in fear of more issues or damages.

The spark plug is about 26 USD each..

I got my injector from www.rockauto.com for under $900, spark plugs are $17 @ BMW's cost. I took out the downpipes (I gutted them), random hoses, coilpacks and plugs...buddy who works at BMW got EVERYTHING back together inside of 8hrs with tools he brought from work. I still get the reduced power warning, so this weekend I'll be smoke testing the truck and replacing the plugs since I didn't before.

For this I do all the work on my car by myself , go to read about this job in ISTA once..

Injectors have 6 digits on them and have to be coded via INPA to make the car know their resistances.
