Went through the SKY wash place near my home here in metro Atlanta. Came out all cleaned and dried. Turn on car and I have all sorts of failure lights on. Permanent brake light on. Several kinds of DTC lights on. Electronics system failure diagram and a few other related ones. So tuesday going to the dealer to get it checked out.... The wash place that I go to has very expensive cars going through the same pulley system (car is in neutral and its pulled along a pully system). I really really hope just sensors were triggered. Seems like way to many kinds of failure lights on though for that which scares me. Lovely, only had the car for a month.

Didn't your sales person tell you that you're not supposed to expose the Bimmer to the water...EVER! You're screwed!

JK, probably stupid BMW electronics (computer)...

Sorry to hear that but why did or do you take your car thru a wash to begin with?

[ahaxton]

I didnt. Its SKY wash skywash.com I believe.
next to the ferrari dealer. They have 100k cars going through the wash system.

[ahaxton]

I just hope theres no damage. I have an unlimited membership there so I bring it every saturday (car is dirty by then sheesh brakes sure give off a lot of brake dust). I dont want a repaired car. I want a new one lol

[Gripster]

Probably just a horrible coincidence, but if it's the first time your car is being washed, perhaps there is a manufacturing defect a leak resulted in a short somewhere.

[ahaxton]

Its been to SKY wash 4 times now. If theres any damage that has to be repaired I want a new car. Seriously who wants to drive around a repaired vehicle after 1 months purchase.

cool it, it was probably a short or something, getting electronics repaired is a lot different then getting something mechanical repaired

your not getting a new car, jeez

[ahaxton]

I just hope it was a simple sensor mixup from being pulled on the pulley in neutral. I dont want anything damaged. They'll need to reimburse me the bill even if I dont have to pay for it because of the warranty. What? stop washing the car after my warranty runs out so it doesnt happen again? you know what I mean. I followed the contract correctly so far (mention everything right away after taking back the car from the porter at sky)

[cdheaven]

how much money do you pay for an unlimited membership at a highend carwash? and take a picture of the dash, that sounds interesting looking.

[ahaxton]

The only lights that show up whent he car is running is brake light (yellow) and
DTC failure light. All the lights come up when u first turn on the car. It scrolls through them all. 6 in total I believe.

Well they have different memberships. About a $100 a month for me.

[ahaxton]

I think one of the lights is also rear brake lamp failure or something. Coulda sworn though my brake lamps work....

How can I put this to set expectations: your car will be fixed under warranty. You are not getting a new car.

Now you want to get reimbursed for something that may not cost you anything? Please. That is unmitigated chutzpah.

[Jean330xi]

Sorry about your car but it is poor attitudes such as yours which give BMW drivers a bad name.

Actually, it is your stated intent to defraud the car wash that is really of concern.

That is correct. He will be getting a repair. And he doesnt really even deserve that.

Poor attitude? Your kidding me? You actually thought I thought I deserve a brand new car?? give me a break... If it was decided by the mechanics at one point it was a lemon I'd say I deserved a new car. If it was the car wash's fault I would want to be reimbursed. Heck I dont care give the money to the BMW mechanic. Tuesday Ill find out the true cause. If it was on the part of Sky Wash I'll move my business to AutoIndulgence nearby.

I hope it was a flook and not anything that needs repair. Still though if it was a sensor flook and they just have to reset like one of the guys at the BMW dealer mechanic said probably happened, that reset, if not under warranty would cost money, and hey now I dont want to be washing my car somewhere that would be causing me to have to reset the computer every so often.

I checked out their site and don't get Rosie O'donnell after me, but I wouldn't let those guys anywhere near my car. Who knows where their hands have been.
