if he took the tires off the rims you might get a low pressure warning which would go away. however, if you got a check engine light that is not from taking the tires off unless he took apart some engine parts he shouldnt have.

Can you take a picture of the light that is on?
You can also use the left stalk(next to the steering) to navigate in to the service menus to see what the light is for

Sounds like BS to me,taking wheels off would not cause the engine light to come on. I change my complete set every winter and have never seen that.

The car should store the code even if the light is off. Take it to a parts store that can read the code or somewhere that can. See what set it off.

Do you know if they drove your car after installing the rims?

i think the the painter painted the car somewhere else.. but the light went off, i got to the gas station and notice the lid to get the gas opening was open and maybe some air got in there or something.. after i got gas and drove it for a lil bit the light went off

I hope they didn't do a Ferris Bueller to your ride lol.
Seriously - the code will be stored and you can find out what tripped it. Sounds like you may be on the right track re: the gas cap. The first "mod" every BMW should get is a CAN tool... Show us some pics of the wheels! |

Sounding to me like these dudes took your beloved car for a test ride and weren't too nice.
Did you write down your miles before you dropped it off and when you picked it up? This needs to be done whenever you drop it off anywhere other than a BMW Dealership. Some guy you paid to paint your wheels, probly isn't the best or most trustable guys on the planet. Lastly... Quote:
Good luck with whatever the issue was.

I hope the theories of them taking it out for a test ride is just a joke; if my car threw a light every time I drove it hard I'd have epilepsy.
That said - if it's brand new, I'm pretty sure you're completely covered to take it in to BMW - I was told that from my SA. |
