My Ride: F11 -14
![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/icons/icon7.gif)
Well, at least I managed to use my car for a whole month without breakdown. Beat that Toyota!
Seriously - I noticed from Day 1 that the car wasn't running smooth when rolling at idle speed, and bearing in mind the injector problem I read some of you other guys with LCI:s have experienced I hoped it was something else... Anyway, as we came home from our trip to Bavaria two days ago, I'm mostly happy that it didn't breakdown during the trip...
I noticed yesterday evening when coming home that the small problem suddenly had became a big one. Below 1500 rpm the car is totally undriveable; it is as if if's struggling on with 3-4 cyls. And I cannot negotiate through the traffic in Copenhagen on Monday so the car had to go. Which ment BMW Assistance. Which gives me a reason to start another thread...

Sorry to hear that
Keep us informed. Guess that many LCI owners specially 530i are inpatient to know what'up.

I want those wheels on my car! However we only get a xiT here in the states and the 172's don't fit properly - I think the offset is too much.
Anyway, I hope your situation is resolved quickly.

Apparently it's not the injector problem, but the "AGR valve" which is there for reducing emissions. Car's not back yet though...
