My Ride: 2005 545i Sports, Premium and dynamic packages
Hi to all,
I need to vent...
Got the "Increased Emissions" message yesterday, called the dealership and took the car this morning. Got a phone call from SA around 4pm "your car is ready". Great! Drove 38 miles to the dealership, picked up the car, drove to my Starbucks (it's a daily thing...), had my coffee and drove back home as I pulled in front of my house, I got the same message again! WTF! What are the odds to be something else not realted to what apparently they fixed today???
BTW, they replaced one air hose, which had a leak...
UGH!!!

Idiots! Go to your local autozone and have them hook up a OBDII scanner. They do it for free

As incompetent as many of the service people are, I doubt that they misdiagnosed the first error...Kinda hard to mess up hooking the scanner to the obd.
