I love my =9200 9-3 coupe and had planned to buy it when the lease is up in=
9=20 months and drive it for another 200K or so. But the =93direct
ignition=20 module=94 failed recently at 26,000 miles. (In retrospect, it
may have been= =20 failing for awhile =96 engine ran ok but showed noticeable
gray-white= exhaust=20 on start up). Four days ago the car just quit at
speed, coasted to a stop=20 and would not restart. The dealer replaced the
module and changed the oil=20 and filter, suspecting gasoline dilution. Now
it seems to run smoother,=20 though it was not bad before. My question: what
are chances that the engine= =20 is damaged due to the dilution of the oil
with gas over a period of=20 time? I have changed the oil and filter every
5,000. Should I keep the car= =20 or turn it in when the lease is up?=20=
