.... and inept dealer service manager. ........
And no, the dealer service manager does not know how to reset the computer for that fault (4 cylinder mode not engaging after software update). He had never heard of it before, and I never found it in the 4 volume service manual.

Ray,
Understood, and agree. The way he came across with grilling me on my LED addition (having to describe it piece by piece, in all it's complicated glory....twice), and then his false statement that our vehicle did not come with the 8/4 cylinder deactivation mode, I knew that already..............

BMW's are the worst culprit for stuff like this. They seem to have a built in failure for items like window regulator clips etc..Your have to drop the front suspension to change an oil pan gasket. The list goes on. I have had 5 of them. Nevermore.

Wait till they hit you up for the $800 trans oil change. Want to do it yourself? Then you have to buy their special oil at $400+ to keep it under warranty. They call the oil a lifetime thing. Better change it at 100k.
My daughters X5 had 180k when we sold it. Was still going strong.
