Hello all . On start up from not being driven overnight car is a bit lumpy on idle and revs start off aboht 1100 rpm for a bit then drop to maybe 700 no problem there . Then they bounce up n down In a “lumpy “ manner maybe 100-200rpm nothing major . Don’t think vacuum leak so guessing coil...

Hi guys, Ive got a 2008 520d msport 177bhp (150k mile) m47 engine and i've been having problems with the car being underpowered at low revs. The car accelerates sluggishly up until 2k rpm but it seems the turbo doesnt fully kick in until 2.5k rpm If you drive the car hard it seems drives well...

Hi, bought my 2014 BMW 4 series automatic a few months ago and noticed it starting juddering at low revs. It's been back to BMW who say they have fixed the problem but they haven't. Now BMW are offering a transmission dampening box costing £3000 but I'm not convinced it will solve the problem...

Hi guys, just recently got my e46 m43 back on the road(garaged for 4 years), going well but one annoying issue. The revs are stable at around 750rpm in park or neutral, but once in drive or reverse they drop to around 500rpm and a vibration is felt through the car, this vibration gets worse...

Hi all, as says above, just fitted 2 new sensors. I was getting bad jerky acceleration between 1-2 thousand revs, which kicked in when car heated up, and other posts seemed to point to these 2 sensors. Fitted them yesterday, and now, when i start the car and ticking over, every 5 secons there...

My 1996 328i has started to rev low, sputter and now stall out. Was a power house up till now. Filters changed and redux added but still stalling. Any thoughts on cam shaft sensor or fuel pump? Thanks KPF

hi just got a bmw 316ti se 2003 model it is lacking in power low rev range could anyone give any suggestions to what may be the cause?? ive heard of vanos o rings could be an issue? thanks

Hi Everyone. I posted earlier about my X5 being jerky and dead in the power range at random times. I traced it down to if I disconnected the vacuum pipe from the EGR, I got my power back to normal but got the EGR error obviously. I thought it was the solenoid controlling the vacuum to the EGR...

Hi This is my first post, prompted by an issue I have with my car. What better place to air it! In April 2018 I purchased a March 2016, BMW M4 DCT from a BMW dealer near Manchester (19,500 miles on the clock - it now has about 25K). Its my dream car, having owned 320Ds, a 330D and a 430D...

Code 3F40, revs fluctuate at idle, occasional failure to start (FIXED) This week my 320d turned over but failed to start on three occasions, each time the engine eventually fired on second attempt, when allowing the engine to turn over for much longer. INPA error memory has code 3F40 'commen...

Hi Gents, and ladies, I have a 2007 320i e91 and had no problems when I bought the car but has developed a power steering issue at low revs, there are no fluid leaks and levels are where they should be. if i'm at idle and turn the steering its really heavy and no assistance, however if I rev...

Hi, I have a 2008 E92 320d m sport. It's done about 137k miles. On startup it's started to hunt. It starts up then the revs bounce up and down for a few seconds until in calms down the normal idle. Seems better when it's warmer and worse when it's cold. But I've just fitted a tuning box and it...

I have this very annoying problem where I release the accelerator pedal whilst slowing down and the revs drop right down to almost cutting out. This is every time consistently. The car runs faultless other than this. Good acceleration and seems to want to go on to max speed on the motorways. In...

I have an F30 320d with 85k miles on the clock. The car drives smoothly, all the power and acceleration is there, however, if I drive more aggressively and change up gears at revs higher than 2,500 rpm then there is a strong vibration at the point of gear change. I've done some texting and...

Hi everyone. My daughter has a bmw 1 114i. This morning she was driving to work when the car wouldn’t go above 2 revs. Then as she went further it kicked in back to normal. Any advice. As we are clueless. Thanks in advance. Worried mum

Hi guys, I am new to this forum and forums in general so I apologise if this particular problem has been covered before. I have recently purchased a 2004 325ci auto. The car has covered roughly 128,000. I really hoping someone can shed some light on a problem that I am having with it? I have...

Hi all, looking for a little help. Not had this car long - has a very annoying issue at around 1500rpm. The throttle bounces up and down, very jittery, this happens in any gear and causes dead spots and surging whilst driving. Took the car to a very reputable gearbox specialist near here...

Hi. So - first post other than the introductory one. I have a 1998 Z3 which is in reasonable condition for age and mileage. Bought it yesterday - annoyingly a sound started straight after that hadn't happened on the test drive. Started when a passenger sat in the car, although the previous...
