Assuming that you're CPO, I would refuse to pick up the car. I would open a case with BMWNA and blame the other work they did as the root cause of the failure.
I hope that you have a loaner.

28 days for a new DME??? That's nuts, I understand it's not a cheap part, but that's ridiculous. We're not talking about new pistons here...At least on the bright side your fueling and ignition is all brand new!

Low pressure sensor is the first step in diagnosing this issue. Then they move on to the plugs,coils injectors. They tried that BS with me and I told them I would pick my car up and take care of it myself.
I replaced the faulty MOSFETs on the ECU (mine happened to be 1&2) and then changed out one of the coils (ECU took it with it). $80 later my car is up and running. Never will I take my car back to the dealership, I am out of warranty and their while goose chase diagnostics end up being pricey. The pathetic thing is the fault code clearly states 'Internal Electronic Malfunction' (something like that) and they look at fueling first. |

loaner at 25? Nuts policy is 21 most or all places. Shit I remember getting loaners at 18 way back when. Sorry about your situation but I would personally call BMWNA and demand my car back with the issue fixed.

So are they waiting for approval, or they can't get it and they want you to pay for it outright?
You can always pay for a new DME and then send info to BMW NA for a refund, but its not 100% guaranteed. You need to contact BMW NA. |

Dude honestly, I'm sure there are a few Under Cover BMW NA peeps on here on here man I would not have even posted what you did unless you told them how it actually happened...
Especially if you're trying to get them to cover something, they could say its from abuse.

I have 60K on mine and just had the mecatronic sleeve and new trans pan the dealer did an inspection and scan and only other issue was the oil filter housing gasket. What are some issues you had? I also have jb4 and car is running good
