Have now had my 750 back for a bit and my report:
1. performance is visibly improved. The motor rocks (or is back to really rocking -- I hadn't noticed how much it had sagged a bit by 60k). It's an amazing performance vehicle given the size and weight. 2. My gas mileage is actually better by about 3 mpg. It's still awful at 16 but better than Aston Martin territory. 3. I am charging the car every night using a BMW charger, using the under the hood connections. Every night, the battery needs the charge (amber light) for several hours, minimum and usually overnight. It's not the PITA I thought it would be but clearly the motor on this thing eats batteries, as noted elsewhere. |

Ok.. So I got the car on Monday after they replaced the fuel injector on cyl 6. The same night I tried manual mode to see how it does past 5000+rpm and I get the Drivetrain malfunction message again. Took it to the dealer again for diagnosis today morning. They called in the evening and told me they swapped the injectors from cylinder 6 to 7 and took it for a test drive and the DMF message came again due to cylinder 6 misfiring. Now that proves its no the injectors so they are waiting for advice from BMW. Looks like I have to drive the 3 series loaner for at least week now.
TXSTYLE I did ask my service guy to check with BMW on what kind of warranty I would get for this job that they are doing. Hopefully I will get a reply from BMW tomorrow on this. I thought I was lucky that the previous owner had extended service contract PL and Maintenance program for 100k miles but BMW still found a way to screw me by saying cup holders are not covered under ESC PL's bought before 2014 and made me pay 145$ for the part. |

I'm headed in this week for a couple of Cylinder Misfires (particularly on # 8!)
I strongly suggest those of you who do NOT own a "Scan Tool" do yourself a huge favor and grab one. |

Quick update : They found couple of "Roller Drag levers" broken inside the head. I have no idea how this could happen. But my cars Avg fuel consumption was 11mpg the past week. Since my car had the CCP done in a different dealership in Chicago(During previous ownership) they are waiting for BMW to approve the job work. I was told they may have to replace the cylinder head.
Can someone confirm if the cars Maintenance and extended warranty goes with the car and I (being the second owner of the car) don't have to pay for it? |

I got a call today that I need my car's cylinder head replaced. Also my SA said since BMW is paying for this there is no warranty of any kind. I also have to pay 650$ towards the tax for the parts.

That sounds very shady! If it is indeed covered under this program, ALL costs should be covered. I'd get clarity from BMW corp and the Service Manager directly.

On my way to the dealer for this campaign. Had an appointment confirmed and called before heading out to confirm the appointment again and was told I wasn't in the system. After talking for a bit and explaining that I'm coming in for a recall (after which he said, no it's a customer care package) he let me know that they will replace the injectors and finish the work in 1 day. After rereading this thread I don't see how that's possible and after inquiring about a loaner, I was told that they have none available and I would have to go through enterprise which I find to be complete BS. My appointment was confirmed a week ago and they don't even have a loaner for me (live nearly 1.5 hours away). Will update after talking with the dealer...

Got the car back. They replaced all 8 injectors, the vacuum pump, and aome other stuff. Had an X3 28i X drive as a loaner which was actually quite pleasant to drive.

Warranty on CCP work
I had to asked multiple times on this but the warranty after the CCP-timing chain work is done is:
motor is covered for everything for 2 years, unlimited miles. Or at least that's what they told me. |

Interesting. I have read some dealers are stating 'no warranty on CCP repairs at all'. Guess I need to get something in writing from BMW NA...
