I have a 1 series 120d msport and I think my battery is on its way out. I've been told that I need to replace the battery for a genuine part as a non-gen won't perform after so long and could impact on other systems on the car. Is this true? Has anybody else had this problem. I ask because the battery is over £200. The car also has start stop so I know I need an upgraded battery but £200 is a bit steap I think. Can anyone advise?

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?

      3.0i starter motor

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…
