    Evening folks, my 2005 e60 525d isn't boosting properly, the car will pick up fine in first and second but once into third there's no power below 3krpm and even beyond that I don't think it's the right amount. I scanned for fault codes with ista d and got the following results, ignore the...

    Hey guys, i have a problem with my 520d lci 2008 177hp. Sometimes (every day) when I am accelerating suddenly the car would stop accelerating and kind of "freeze", lose all power but then sometimes after this happens it would gain power and i can accelerate again with no problem at all. I have...
  3. BMW 3 Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of 3 Series
    So, need a bit of help diagnosing an issue with a car I recently purchased. In effect, I did the usual, bought it on eBay, late at night, after a few glasses of wine. Naturally, I did this unseen, knowing full well that the car had a fairly obvious misfire and was using a bit of oil. Previous...

    Long one here.. A while back the flexible part of the pipe to the EGR failed.. directing hot exhaust gasses onto the wiring loom nearby and melting it! I separated out the wires (burning off the rest of the plastic insulation) and spliced in new sections. I am 99% confident that all of these...

    So the car seems to be lacking in power, 2nd gear, great pulls really well, 3rd starts to pull then it feels just like a standard 2ltr petrol, 4th 5th gear the same. On occasion when cruising at 60mph and you put your foot down a little in 6th it can feel a little lumpy. The car seems to be...

    When started from cold it misfires for a minute or so until warm. When driving the throttle will suddenly become inactive. The car will drive at around 2000 RPM, no more. It will not accelerate even if the accelerator is floored. This might last a second or several minutes. It is entirely random...

    Hello ! I’ve been on the forum so many times to browse threads and am on my second 530d now and also have an x5 so about time I joined .... Anyway .... the real reason is a lack of power below 3k on my 2001 530d auto sport. I still have my old 530d manual which I had remapped. That car has a...

    Started up, (engine not cold) tick over a little bit low, drove for about 100 meters and could feel a definite lack of power, then a sudden judder and trans fail alarm. Stopped and turned off engine and restarted, all fine. What went wrong, any clues where to start, thanks.
  13. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    I`ve noticed a distinct lack of "grunt" when in Auto, top gear at approx 2000 rpm. When I try to accelerate nothing much happens, just a gradual increase in revs/speed. In Manual does`nt seem to be such a noticeable issue possibly because I hang onto the peak revs longer,similar in Sport mode...

    I'm have this issue on my car in which it doesn't really want to accelerate, especially when the engine has warmed up. From cold it's not so bad (and in lower gears) but as soon as you are on a dual carriage way or similar it will start juddering (4th to 5th) - almost as though the brakes are...
