[Need Experts] CEL on X5M
Hi everyone,
I hope this is not the fuel injector issue because when the car is under warratty, the stealership refuse to replace all 8 of them. The factory warranty expired on Sep 2014. So everything now i have to pay out of my pocket. the fault code was 29E0, 29E1. related to the mixture control. It usualy shown NOT PRESENT. So, I have the ISID to diagnosis the problem which caused by the low pressure fuel sensor. It got replaced by my mechanic. Also, the spark plugs were replaced into the new one. But the fault code from the engine still show up after a while like 20-30 miles driving distance. 29E0- mixture control ==>present. Our computer is not good enough to identify the problem. and I'm waiting for the 2nd diagnosis with ISID. I wish it is not the fuel injectors caused the issue. It have to remove so many hose and breaking the engine bay apart. The recent repair cost a lot because the hose with the air duct sucks, it was crackling. The car has downpipe and running velo tune, I dont really want to go back to the dealership in NYC. If anyone knows any good dealership around the tri-state area, can help solve the annoying little light on the dashboard. Please let me know.

I would suggest moving on man. I had to from mine, i was having CEL issues like crazy. Dealership replaced plugs and injectors and i was still having issues. Finally came to the conclusion the truck needed a new motor. I dumped it immediately. I was bummed to see it go and extremely happy at the same time. I must have had a bad one but it spent most of the time in the shop for one thing or another. From my experience I wont be buying bmw again.
The dealership that took my truck on trade in couldnt fix it either... now it is sitting in the bronx lol.

If you have had issues in the past before warranty which the Dealership would not correct, I would have no problems asking for a good will repair. My SA told me on an issue that I was having with my M3 to report the same occurring issue during warranty so if the issue is reported shortly after the warranty period, there is a chance it will be covered.
I had a E53 which had starter issues. Every 15 or 20 times I would start the car it would grind or just kinda start and then crap out. I complained about it a bunch of times and I got the "working as designed" 5 months after the warranty period past, the starter would do it every 3-5 times. Brought it in and complained, They initially said it would not be covered. I then showed then SA the 4-5 work orders from past times the car was in the shop and highlighted that I made mention of this every time. The dealer agreed that It should have been taken care of and I was granted a good will repair on BMW.

That is probably what it will take. They couldnt find the issue and my tech told me to move on from it. They had it for almost a month and the same issues kept coming back. Truck was no longer under warranty and it had given me so many headaches it just wasnt worth it anymore.

It wasnt constantly going into limp mode upon starting it up and getting to 4000rpm. It was terrifying to drive. I live on a road where the speed limit is 50mph. I pulled out a few days in a row to have it go straight into limp mode. I would pull over restart it and baby it to work. Shit was close a few times.

He traded in the car and let the dealer have fun about it.

Went slower which I'm a little bummed about but I grabbed a 2012 Jeep SRT8. I'm extremely happy with it, a bit of a downgrade in technology but I think it makes up for it in other areas. The blower kits are cheaper and easy to maintain if I ever go that route.

I kept my eye on it knowing it was broken I wanted to see what the dealer was going to do with it. They had it on autotrader a few weeks after I sold it to them. The CEL was back in the pictures. When I was dealing with them they really wanted it on their lot, it was a chevy dealer and they like having a few BMWs sitting around. I checked it again and it was removed. But I widened my search and boom there she was at a "Euro" dealer in the bronx. A place that usually grabs super cars and exotics at auction. They didnt have a price on it though when I looked.
