So i just bought a M-tech manual ti this past tuesday. It has 116 K on it. When we took it home, it drove perfectly. When we got home, my dad rinsed the motor off with a hose(not quite the smartest idea I thought so too). So the following morning, we tried to take it out, and the check engine light came on, it misfires when I rev past 2000 RPM. We are thinking water got on the ignition coil, or into something else. I am not finding any answer anywhere else. I am going to buy the reader got 1996 BMWs and higher to see what the problem is, but I'm just hoping it won't be a big issue. Any suggestions? Plus, after this, my factory keyless entry system only activates alarm, and doesn't lock/unlock. See that in the other forums.
