service engine soon(wtf?)

Got in the car this morning. 19F degrees out.. started the car.. waiting for about a minute or so.. n drove off very slow.. doing about 15mph for a good 2blocks then turn left and notice "service engine soon" on my cluster.. wtf?? Now i accelerate a bit more.. this busy ass hole in a rav4 is behind me so im trying to move out his way, once he gets in front of me and takes off i begin to accelerate. Upon acceleration the car shakes roughly.. now I know the car shakes over 80mph, because bmw told me I have bent rims... but we are talking 15-40mph.

Now i'm pissed.. i just from dealing with some bullshit at my dealer... and now i have to go back.. i have been there twice for the month already.

Any idea of what this could be? spark plugs? oil change? bad gas??


BTW: I get no notification in the idrive of anything wrong..

sounds like bad gas to me. My car did the same thing when I got a tank of bad gas.
