Schereville BMW

I got lazy and took my car to Schererville BMW a couple of days ago because it needed an oil change and it seemed to be mis-firing badly in the morning. I checked the codes with my BT cable to confirm and took the car in. They did the oil change, replaced the spark plugs and claimed the mis-firing was being caused by the my "after market down pipes". They wanted to replace them with stock ones "to fix the mis-firing" and I declined of course. I explained to the SA that there is no way that the DP can cause the mis-firing in the mornings but she refused to understand.

I got my car back and noticed on the invoice (they did not charge me for any work) that they had replaced the ignition coil?! Confirms to me the problems have nothing to do with the DP.

I certainly won;t be going back there and will stick with Patrick BMW (even if it 50 miles away).

Next week I am going to try the Eurocharged software from LETMOTORSPORTS. Will update whoever reads this on how the car does.
