CEL and BMS Intake loose

Folks, looking for some feedback here..

Today at work I noticed my CEL was on. My car is a 2013 BMW M5 with a BMS Stage 1 installed, along with BMS intake & charge pipes.

My initial thought when I seen the CEL was that it had something to do with the start/stop feature which stopped working recently.

However upon popping my hood I noticed my BMS intake came loose. I am assuming the terrible installers I was using didn't install the pipe clamp tight enough causing it to eventually go loose.

Safe to say this caused my CEL?

Unfortunately with BMS stage 1 I cant read CEL codes.

Either way I will likely be disabling the BMS Stage 1 and bringing my car into the dealership to be looked at.

Thanks guy, Will Do.

CEL cleared once I fixed the issue with the intake.

I picked up the PLX 2 wifi dongle and used the free torque app to read and clear. Also reads a ton of data

would definetly give you a code (CEL)- you are getting unmetered air after the MAP sensor.
