I have a sputtering problem that happens once or twice a week and my check engine light is on. I went to autozone and had it diagnosed as having duct tube damage caused by a large vacuum leak on engine or faulty MASS sensor. Is this something that can be fixed by someone who knows just a little about repairs, like myself or should I take it to a mechanic and what should I be looking at price wise on the repair? Also what is best website to go to on how to do repairs on BMW's?

    you will be much better off finding a reputable BMW specialty shop than attempting repairs on your own. this
    is not a vehicle that is consumer-friendly for repairs.
    ask other BMW owner's who is the best shop. make friends
    with them; you will get to know them really well.

    Thanks for your response. I have worked on american made cars but never BMW's. I'm alway looking to save a buck by doing it myself and I know Bimmer's can kind of expensive to have worked on.
    Good day!
