325e sounds like a diesel

I believe that bimmersport is quite away from where I live?

280$ was for the parts and labour for a tune up with valve adjustment.

I think that I will try the spark plugs first and see what happens.

Just had a thought...

on the cluster of this car it says that the car is chipped... now i have heard that if the chip starts to malfunction this could cause a lot of issues?

Any ideas...

anyone wanting to lend a hand saturday?

That's a rip-off for a valve adjustment considering it shouldn't take more than 1.5 hours and the only part that MAY be required is a valve cover gasket. If you have to replace rocker guides or something maybe...but thats damn steep. Like anyone has said previously, take it to one of the sponsor shops. Save you money and aggravation.
