Texas M3 in need of HELP in Colorado Springs

[FOURSIXTEEN]

Hey guys,

I am in Colorado Springs and we drove up Pikes Peak this morning in the M3. I pushed the car hard, as we were the first and only ones on mountain on a monday morning at 730am. When we reached near the top my car went into limp mode and said engine malfunction. Code was gonna and hasn't come back after restart. I am hoping it has something to do with my 93 octane BPM Stage 2 tune and the elevation.

BMW here wants 150 to scan the code logged from it. I was curious if anyone was near by me with a way to read my fault codes. I am on the first day of vacation and really don't want to have to go home early.

I am also interested in what anyone thinks could have caused it. I thought it was a misfire, but now im thinking the incline might have messed with oil pressure?

Thanks in advance!

Was just there, they were nice but either wanted money to scan it or had no opinions on the matter...

Not worth figuring it out for 150, and save vacation?

Yeah, I will, but it would be pretty cool if someone was local and had the dongle so i didn't pay $150 for 30 seconds of someones day at BMW...

Get with Bryan. He'll probably want to make you want to move to Colorado. Dude is that good.

Side note, where did you fill up with 93?

Some place called farm crest. We have some app that tells us where race fuel and 93+ is local to your location. I had a lot of 91 in when we got here unfortunately the drive here was 91 only outside of Texas....

I can make some time for $50.
