Hi guys,

Encountering this problem when driving the car from cold, It will accelerate very slowly, and jutter at a low speed in all gears. When the car is warm, it runs fine.

I don't thrash it around while engine is cold anyway as that would damage it, but even accelerating out of a junction it is extremely sluggish and laggy, I've done some research and heard it could be the MAF?

Wondering if anyone else has had the same problem or any advice

      Appears no fire

      Morning Larry Welcome to the Forum Sorry I can't hear the recording However your 539i runs with iBus so tracing faults with a BMW friendly diagnostic program (preferably INPA or BMW 1.4.0) so first step get a Diagnostic done. Checks to do first would be. Compression Check, Fuel Pressure at the injector rail. Fuel Pump relay, Vanos sensor and obviously is there a spark at the plugs. If you have compression fuel and spark it should at least try to start even if the Vanos timing is out Is the MAF plugged in and OK Good Luck Dave

      Appears no fire

      I have a 2002 BMW 530I. My wife was driving one night and a water hose busted it ran hot for a short time. The car was in worse condition than it appeared at the time of purchase. But she got water back in it plus oil. Well it still would crank. I got it towed to my house. My first thought was the head gasket, but the oil was clear. So I noticed the head cover gasket busted so I replaced. I also replaced the plugs and coil ok. I’ve checked the fuel filter and the intake gasket among other things inside and out. I’m stumped I’m hoping someone can help with ideas or the answer to it. Listen to the sound and see if something comes to mind.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13BYZ1qjO4VuNf7T0iou5AWnqJ70k0wxi

      X1 2024 Recall pillar problem

      From what I have been able to learn, seems like it was only vehicles manufactured between 17th Sept 2024 and 21st Oct 2024 that may have been affected. Our car entered the manufacturing process on 20th Sept, so I am worried that it will be one with the B-Pillar made from incorrect materials.
