Won't Start
I took my 128i in to my local BMW dealer for an oil change and wash. I got lazy and left my AA tune in and did not revert back to stock like I typically would do.
After the oil change they went to wash the car and it would not start. They tried for an hour or so but could not get the car started. They are going to work on it again on Monday. Any ideas? Could this be due to the "foreign" AA ECU tune?

My car recently had to get warranty service because there was a leak in the tail light assembly gasket which allowed water into the trunk. Enough water went inside to ruin the battery and the control modules located in the trunk. So it might be worth checking the battery compartment and the trunk seal. Although, admittedly, there can be many reason to cause the car to not start.

There was a battery recall on the 2008 - 2012 1 series models that caused the car to not start up or to just turn off while driving. Have you taken it in for the recall? That can be the case.
