I'm not totally sure what you said, but it sounds like you have some car trouble?

Are you posting this from a cell phone?

I call BS with regard to the instructions you were given. Bypass the SA and go to the Service Mgr. .

I'd be freaking mad if my SA told me my car was running normal when it's in limp mode. I'd go back down there and MADE sure that they got the problem fixed this time...

Wait...maybe they updated your software to 29.2 and that's what your feeling...do you know if they did?

im sorry yes i was writing this from my cell phone.

Anyways my car has been running in stupid limp mode since friday night. I took it in today and they said they fixed it when i picked it up. They said the problem was a vacuum hose leaking air running to the manifold.

ANyways i take the car and 4 miles later i check another check engine light. I was so frecking mad. I call the SA and he says its normal drive it, itll go away by itself.

ya like things magicaly go away by themselves. Im going to go monday and see WTH is going on, and this time they better give me a bmw loaner.

I really think its the high pressure fuel pump, just half ass job probably done by a lazy mechanic.

Yeah BMW SA pisses me off sometimes too. My mom's runflats on her 750 went out about 1k miles ago, and every 100 miles I have to fill it with air. I took it to BMW twice and both times they just felt the tire and said it's normal. Took it to a tire shop my friend owns, he actually spent time checking it out and he told me the pressure sensors were broken.
