1M Limp Mode
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com The car is completely stock and has 4800kms on it, was full of 91 octane (highest I can get), and was at operating temperature. I had stopped it to run into my work for a minute and came back out and got up to fourth gear shifting at 2.5K. The light came on and stayed on until I found a safe place to pull over and shut down. I started back up again and it was gone off. (I read that on a thread here). Everything was back to normal. I'm scheduled for a Trans fluid change and Oil change next week, so I haven't decided if I'm going to tell the dealership, since I don't know if I trust them yet. Robert |

Not sure I understand why you wouldn't tell dealer, especially as car is stock.
In any case, they'd find a code when they scan the ecu, which is standard procedure when you bring car in for service. Neil |

NOTE: There was a comment in the test plan that referred to checking the octane aka Fuel Quality of the fuel. The test returned "High" quality which is what I expected. Good luck... Last edited by It8ntez; 04-29-2013 at 07:22 PM.. |

Are these new knock sensors (new part numbers?) or just replacements for faulty ones?
Also, does the dealer actually have an octane tester on site?

The CEL came on a number of times and it was actually pretty frustrating to pin this down because I got the run around initially. They have some sort of fuel "quality" test that could be anything. Probably some form of chemical strip akin to a litmus strip used for ph. |

Great information.
I'll be having a service done on Wednesday, provided it doesn't rain. And the wind stays down, and the stars align... I don't drive it very much, afraid to get it dirty. Robert |

Quick Update,
Went to the dealer for a seasonal oil change and an attempt to get a Trans Fluid change (No LT-5 available). After doing their diagnostics, they ordered two knock sensors in response to the half engine light. They gave it back to me with 25 extra kilometers on it and mud smears up the side of the car.

Robert -
Hoping this is an end to your CEL as well. For what its worth thats about the mileage that my car had added to it so maybe its part of their test protocol. Test Plan JR0001: Joy Ride Quote:
