RE: Help
I tried Hammeron's on idea. I drove my car to the post office and the check engine light was on, and wrench light by the tach was on and I to keep the revs high to keep the car on. Once I got back to my apartment. I checked the default settings and changed the octane from 91 to 87. I let the car idle and took a quick drive. What a difference it was like the car gained some inches in the engine. To be on the safe side I am going to order some tunes from one of the vendors here. Thanks to everyone who responded. For those who want to know I used the C&L file on my x3

What octane gas did you have in your car when your light came on?
Second, get a custom tune from Brenspeed, Bamachips, or VMP. They're way better than the pre-programmed SCT tunes.

I am using 87 octane was going to use the pre programmed tunes for now until I get some more cash then order custom tunes.
