Hi guys
I am looking for some help or advice please.
My brother is driving a 2010 Bmw 750li and it recently had to be taken away for repairs on the back of a tow truck because it went into limp mode on the freeway .
It’s not his daily driver but it is his favourite toy for cruising around in at the weekends.
To get the car back running again his mechanic replaced the ignition coils and mentioned that it might need a new o2 sensor.
It was fine again for about 2 weeks.
Now the check engine light has reappeared and the mechanic is saying it needs 2 new Californian spec catalytic converters which will be very very expensive.
He lives in San Francisco.
( They have not tried the new o2 sensors yet )
So my questions are :
Is there someone in or near San Francisco that is the go to guy for that type of BMW
I am in Ireland so I don’t know who exactly he goes to , I know it’s not the main dealers anyway.
Does someone know if there are any “affordable “ Californian spec catalytic converters available anywhere ,maybe good used ones or affordable aftermarket perhaps.
thanks again in advance for any help or tips
