They replaced the valvetronic stepper motor, valvetronic computer, and ECU, but the problem still happens once or twice a week. Then now I have a SOS Call failure/malfunction warning on my dash every time I start the car. Also my BMW Remote app no longer is able to send commands such as "Ventilate" or "Sound the Horn" to the car. It used to work. I'm am now waiting to see what they say. The first thing they asked is if I plugged anything in the ODB2 port. I said I have only had the car at home for 2 weeks. No I have not. Sheesh.
I really want to love this car, but it is really hard to right now  |
For the SOS Call failure warning, they replaced the "Comm" unit. It was dropping into transport mode, and they determined that it was defective. The lead tech took an hour to go over all the tests they did on my car and ask me questions. He also listened to my theories and discussed them. I felt in the loop and part of the troubleshooting team. When I picked up the car, the Service Advisor was there to greet me and go over the paper work, and the Lead tech stopped over to introduce himself and let me know I can call him direct or email him direct when ever I have any questions. This BMW dealer has been very responsive and has given me confidence even though I had some bad reliability luck with my new purchase.
Oh, and they did an oil change for me on the house, because I expressed concern about waiting 10k miles before an oil change. I had about 1100 miles on the car.
