Consumer Description

THE BMW 2012 328 XIT (XI WAGON) HAD HAD STUMBLING ISSUES FOR MONTHS AND THE DEALER WASN'T ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. WHILE DRIVING, THE OEM BOSCH #5 CYLINDER COIL PACK FINALLY WENT CAUSING THE CAR TO HAVE TO LIMP HOME. THE CAR WAS "REPAIRED" NO QUESTIONS ASKED BY THE DEALER AND THE BOSCH COILS WERE REPLACED WITH DELPHI COILS AS AN UPGRADE. OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT COILS GOING BAD ON A NEWER CAR.
