Power Train · reported Jul 29, 2021
My car has approximately 118,000 miles on it and is in excellent condition. It was dealer serviced within a week of this event.

About 6 months ago the car started sputtering when you accelerate. I found online that you can take your bmw 750li xdrive in for a customer care package ( They did not call it a recall but a customer care package.) I thought this would correct the problems because they replace some sensors and vacuum hose but the problem is still there. Bmw did a full diagnostic and said (Remove and replace all injectors (X8), ignition coils (X8),and spark plugs (X8) (During the inspection found the vehicle misfiring) final cost will run $6777.00 my warranty company will refuse to pay because they wanted to…
