Well my GF just brought our 135i in for what is now the third time for the same problem. The "service engine soon" light comes on and stays on longer and longer every day till its on all the time along with rough running conditions and rich exhaust fumes. Lets see what the brand new cat looks like now. This car is only two years old, has been auto crossed ones, and for the most part only sees highway driving. It has no tunes, or engine modifications of any kind what so ever. Really no abuse.
After the second trip to the dealer the car also came back with bad suspension noises when turning lock to lock in ether direction. A kind of dull twanging sound like when you pick a guitar string at the very very top of the fret board.
Our service adviser is going to take the car home and drive it for a day or two and experience the conditions for him self.
Lets see what they find this time.
Any insight or advice would be appreciated.

Lets see if they can track the real problem down this time.
