jprad · 04-22-2012, 04:23 PM

so i got this car on dec 31st as certified pre-owned.. and i've got maybe 1500 miles on it..
its a 08 335xi and im a little bit freaked at the shake and the engine check light.. anyone know any issues it could be? does the pump prob come with a shake?
tachometer is a bit jumpy

Probably pump issue. Is it on cold start? Just take it in under warranty. Then pump itself has an extended 10 yr 120000 mile warranty cause it was recalled

i'd say most like pump/injector related but just bring it in...you are cpo and should be covered almost regardless of the problem on this one.

so the guy said it was the oxygen sensor :l

Did you get a DP installed and swap the o2 sensor?
If so, do you have JB4 or CAN-Tool?
They will get rid of your CEL, otherwise, you'll need a new sensor.

replaced o2 sensor and did programming

no mods on it yet so got taken care of under warranty without any real frustration other than having to take a day off and veg lol, lucky didnt get coded funny thing was i was gonna go for the coding meetup and then this happened the morning of..
