When I accelerate the cars feels like its flooding out or running on 3 cylinders
What is your question?
I was told by the dealership that my car was running poorly because the vehicle has 6 bad ignition coils and 6 bad spark plugs. The car only has 37,462 original miles. It's about a $1,700.00 job. I explained my situation to an auto mechanic who's been working on cars for years. I was told other BMW 5 series' owners have been complaining about the same thing and he says its coolant leaking into the combustion chamber, which is under warranty. Any advice?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2010 BMW 528i. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Spark plugs are recommended to be replaced on your BMW every 60,000 miles. If all 6 ignition coils were bad the car would not run. A few may be going bad and on a BMW, it would be a good ideal to replace all of the coils. $1,600 is a pretty high price. The coils, list price from BMW are $65 ea. Spark plugs are about $25 ea. Add in 2 - 3 hours labor, the total should be about $1,000. The recommendation seems accurate, the price out of line. Even for a dealer. I'd find a BMW specialist and have them take a look.
