On my 523i with M52TU engine. The engine starts fine, warm or cold and tick over OK and will run, with throttle opening, up to around 2000 rpm but any attempt to go higher or crack open the throttle will result in the engine running really lumpy with no increase on rpm. It will remain running...

Hi all, So today I was driving to work on the A38 and the car just didn’t want to get up to speed at all, had a total loss of power and it wouldn’t go past 60mph. No EML on dash. There is an ABS warning light which I believe is the rings which I’m getting fixed next week but I bought the car...

Hi all, this is my first post on the forum! It's a pleasure to be here and definitely a massive amount of knowledge. I've spent many hours looking through existing threads but none of the solutions posted have worked on my car. The problem is I've got my car tuned from 218 hp to ~270hp. The...

Hi, I'm looking for my first "premium" car. The BMW 3 series ticks every single box except for one thing. The interior. I'm looking at a 2016 320i or 330i (preferred option) versus a Mercedes C200. The engine, auto transmission appears to be better in the BMW than the Mercedes. Mercedes...

Hi, I have a BMW E90 330D 2007. I've read lots about modifying the clutch by a clutch stop to shorten the travel, and removing the CDV to get more reliable clutch engagement which i will do. However, the biting point if quite far down the pedal (near the floor), after the clutch has engaged...

Problem started a couple of weeks ago. Anytime you give it some revs quickly the car cuts out with the management light on. Takes a bit of restarting but feels down on power and wont rev past 4000. I've just parked it up and got out the old 320d compact until i can sort it. Had a look at the...

Hi there got a 2001 e46 330d 181hp that won't rev past 3000rpm. It feels like as if it's hitting a limmiter, and pours out black smoke when you try to go past it. It sometimes dose go past and you get a bit of power around 4200rpm then. If you try to go past and pop the clutch in it idles...

Who has passed their car driving test in the pre 1996 era AND had the misfortune to retake their test in the current theory test era?

Hi everyone once again i am back with another BMW issue i can't work out. First i will start you off with a little history of the car so you can see it from my point of view: it has been very well looked after and it on 133k miles body work is dent and rust free and only has very minor...

Hello! Im thinking of buying a e36 1.8tds. The seller said that it wont rev past 1400rpm and the problem is a faulty accelerator pedal position sensor. Could it be the sensor, engine safe mode or anything else? Any help appreciated! Thanks :)

Hi, my name is Janis. Im from Latvia, I've used this forum for a while but never registered. Hoping someone can help me. I have 330d 184hp e46 2001. Car drives and pulls like a train until 4k rpm, then it starts to jerking and cuts out power. I checked error codes with inpa and it shows : 1541...

Hi, I'm new to the forum but not new to BMWs. Here's a little history.... I got my first BMW in 1995, this was a 1987 E30 316 (the one with the computer controlled carb on an M10B18 engine). Yes, the most basic model, no power steering but it drove great after I learnt how to set up that weird...

Hi all I went for a drive to the petrol station this morning and on the way home my engine just lost all power, no matter how much throttle I apply it will not rev past 3500rpm also anytime it hits idle it will just stall and cut out, I managed to limp it home but I am now at a loss to think...

My turbo died and I changed CHRA cartridge and cleaned everything from the air filter box to the cylinder head and the engine is running smoothly at idle. The engine will not rew past 2000rpm with everything hooked up. If I remove the electrical connector to the pressure converter, I can hear...

Hi I have an issue with my 2007 2.0 Diesel E83 X3, it started feeling sluggish then it wouldn't go faster than 40mph and the revs wouldn't go higher than 2500rpm when i had my foot down in 3rd gear and 4th gear, when i go up a hill it just starts to slow down but going down hill it speeds up...

I'm struggling a bit here, my recently purchased 535d won't make boost past 1.5 bar, standard it should make 1.75 bar, I've tested the turbo valves and found the wastegate wasn't moving, this was due to a blocked vacuum line, this is now fixed but it still won't make any more boost, I adjusted...

Hi, (first post on forum and first BMW owned!). Recentley bought myself a very tidy 2000 328ci coupe automatic. I soon realised the accelerator pedal is quite stiff compared to other autos i have driven... It isn't causing any problems but after googling it and seeing a variety of possible...

Hi All, Noticed oil on the drive a month or so ago and local dealer put it down to the vacuum pump, so got the part on order. Still created a vacuum so drove used the car where necessary to get around until the vacuum stopped and brake failure warning appeared. Update: Turns out the dreaded...

Hi all, I have recently started experiencing loss of power in my 320d e46. The car will not Rev past 2500 and will also not accelerate past 30mph. Even when accelerating to 30mph takes a long time and the car feels very sluggish. I have ruled out the problem of the clutch and am totally stumped...
