He had a couple loose screws in his head, told me he was never able to feel the bmw experience driving the car because it goes into limp mode. He hopped from mechanic to mechanic with no success. I was super swamped with tasks at the time, so I told him wait for me to help him out with it. He became impatient and decided to try to fix it himself. He poured marvle mystery oil into each cylinder through the spark plug holes, waited over night, screwed the sparkplugs back in and started it. needless to say, a couple more problems were introduced... he ended up selling the car, clean title 108k miles for $1,700.
