did you get a long crank? that sounded funny

sounds like your fuel pump maybe dying; pretty common problem for 335s. you're in limp mode when you get reduced power. it should be safe to drive it to the dealer.

registration has been closed for a few weeks, but contact Zach to see if you can get on the 'fluid change only' list.

yep, it may take a few days; hopefully you'll get a good loaner

[f82phan]

for production date, look in the driver side door jamb....where you'll find the recommended tire pressure.

do you get a long crank when you start up the car?

i called arlington and they said they cant give bmw loaners if i didnt buy it there.

so i called passport (where i bought it from) and they said they will give me a bmw and pick up and deliver my car when its done.

[00angela00]
