We haven’t DLed any pics from the cam from this trip yet, here’s the car though at the house w/ his other car (FD):
Anyway, day two brought a flat tire. M cars don’t have spares, and the fuggin’ jackasses at the dealer he bought this on from must have jacked the “M Mobility kit” (basically a can of fix-a-flat and an air compressor) and sold i ton ebay or something. So we had to wait around an hour for a tow truck, then take a damn 2 hour ride on the truck to get the tire fixed. We ended up making it to Oklahoma City Sunday night, which was our original plan anyway.
Yesterday about 30 miles out of Bowling Green, KY (our destination for the night) the SES light came on and the car started stumbling. A minute later it stopped making power and we coasted to an off ramp. It wouldn’t even move under its own power so we called BMW roadside assistance for the 2nd time in 2 days. We got towed to a BMW dealership in Bowling Green and got a hotel here. The dealer gave us a ride to/from the Corvette Assembly Plant & Museum so at least we still got to do that. I guess the code they found in the M was a MAF code so they’re just replacing them both (after some forum searching it looks like they really just needed cleaned, but whatever it’s warranted). We’re stuck here in Bowling Green another night though, so that sort of sucks.
At this rate it looks like we’ll make Pittsburgh Friday.
