Just collected my M3 Conv (2004). Driving home noticed that when trying to acelerate in low revs whole car shook and didn't accelerate. also noticed later engine light on dashboard light on. Whole car sounded like a tractor and no power. EML light also came on. Switched off car and restarted and light went off when car started. however, still hesitating and shaking occasionally when trying to accelerate at low revs. Any ideas. (not bought from BMW dealer). I am taking car in on tue but thought may get some answers here.

Yes, it could well be that... It also affects other sensors like the Cam-Sensor as it tries to adjust the engine !!

      2019 X3 Xline

      Hi, I am new to BMW, I have had my X3 for about a month and when driving at night particularly country roads, the headlights don't light up the road very far in front of me, maybe 10 to 15 metres, so when approaching bend etc I don't see them in enough time to slow down, also just don't seem to see very far in front of me. Is it possible to adjust the headlight so that it lights up further?

      X1 recall

      Our new X1 has been recalled for the pillar problem. The dealer had it back 3 weeks ago, it was only 2 months old, and despite calling BMW in London and our dealer none of them can tell us what is going to happen and if we will get it back or when! Anyone else have this problem?

      2008 e61 m sport 530 d serpentine belt

      Morning Andrew When I rebuilt the E53 4.6is engine BMW didn't have the Crank Damper or Belt tensioners and they were on long lead times. I brought Gates replacements after talking to an engine tuner in the States saved money and 80k later they have just out lasted the OEM stuff. I would check the tensioner carefully maybe worth replacing Belt and Tensioner I would have no worries about using replacements from Gates Dave
