Popped My Cherry

BMdblU · 10-20-2007, 11:02 PM

Hey guys ,

I've had the car about a week now and have been loving every minute of it! I've already put on about 800 miles on it.

I picked up a friend tonight and got out to let him drive it , and not even 10 seconds later I get a cel with him in the drivers seat, haha

It said 'Engine malfunction,decrease in power' on the iDrive. Is that normal when you get a cel ? The message on the iDrive was gone after 5 mins.

Any guess as to what my problem could be ?

This car is incredible , but a cel after a week suuucks! :sad0147:

Thanks in advance

Thta happened on a test drive I was taking on a brand new 335i with 5km (2 miles) on the clock. The dealer and service guy just said it was a minor computer fault and just restarted the car.

I still brought a 335i but from another dealer

hate that when someone tries your car and some shit happens immidiately. It's very tough to stay philosophical about it at that moment. wanna make them PAY.
