So the ride is nearing the end of the CPO and the idle felt a little rough, not really enough to bring in under normal circumstances. However, realizing that the CPO runs out in a month, I decided to take her in for a checkup.
Come to find out that the Vanos Solenoid had to be replaced. I'm not even sure what a vanos solenoid is, much less what it's supposed to do, but I'm glad I brought it in when I did because the repair cost was around $500. Idle running sharp as a tack now.
I'm taking my car to an indy shop later this week and having a full inspection done to determine if I should keep her, or look to something else.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind an LCI 550 but not sure if I want to pony up the coin. Since the car was in the shop over the weekend, they gave me a loaner....a 328 coupe. I have to admit, although small in size and nowhere near as roomy as my E60, it was pretty fun to drive.

 

I was driving around an 08 335i sport last week and I have to say that car is a little rocket! I couldnt even imagine the jb software upgrade in it. If i was about 5 inches shorter I may have just bought it!

 

I'm 6'1" so it wasn't too bad. But I'm not a slim build, so I like the room of the 5'er....tempting though!

 

My car is also at the dealer for service and I'm in a 2K11 335i coupe its fun to drive but there nothing like a good old 5.
