    Happy New Year Everyone! =) My "Service Engine Soon" light came on and my engine was running rough April 2023. Took it to the BMW dealership, approx $2200+ later with new spark plugs and new ignition coils, the light went off for about 1 - 1.5 weeks, then came back on again. Took it back to...

    Just acquired this car, so I don't know the full history. This light seemingly covers a wide range of issues, but are any of them likely to be urgent enough to drop everything and get to the dealer, or is this typically a reminder for oil change or.... I do not have a code scanner.

    Hello to all. I am a (I think) proud new owner of an 07 650i convertible with 66K miles. Before I bought the car I had a pre-purchase inspection performed at the local BMW dealer. They advised me that the car had no codes, and pulled the service history which appeared to be comprehensive and...

    What is your state law on buyer or seller responsibility for SES/CEL & smog tests? Edit: Change the question, as per E36_phantom in post #2 below, to more about the seller's specific legal responsibility. Edit: Further generalized the question, as per Edjacks' comments in post #3 to cover both...
