the year long repair ( almost a year)
So I've had my car( 2011 550i xdrive 64xxx mi) at BMW of anchorage since November of 2017 getting repairs done. it started with the car running rich and going into drive train malfunctions repeatedly. since there were recalls on the timing chains and fuel pump i figured that it would be a good time to ship the car to them. here is a list of what was done.
fuel pump
timing chains
varible valve solinoids
cam position sensors
new battery
radiator ( had small leak)
water pump
inter cooler water pump
ignition coils
spark plugs
altenator
bank 1-4 injectors
complete engine harness
new dme
when the repair was finished , the car would read , engine oil at minimum level add oil immediately , and the cel was back on for the rich codes. I am at a loss for what they will want me to change next. this has been about a 8,000.00 bill and still not fixed. i've complained to bmw corporate about this and they did step up a bit. they re sent every part replaced on my car with a tech from California to the shop at their expense and removed my motor and replaced everything again. as of yesterday there is no more oil warning , but the rich codes persist. i do not have a list of the current codes seeing as how the car is in a different city, but as soon as i get them ill post them.
any advice or input is greatly appreciated.
