Hi all, i've got an issue with my engine cutting out. Pull up to the lights and it dies, it will restart but turns over for a while before it does. Seems to only start doing it on a run, on the motorway the other day I had cruise control on and although it kept at the selected speed i could fell it trying to die, left the motorway slowed down to stop, cut out. Scanned it - p1427 and p3000 returned - mechanic friend thinks the swirl flaps might have been removed hence the first code the second seems to relate to a fuel rail sensor. Cleared the codes and went for a short drive today no codes returned as yet . . .

Update: issue returned, idle "hunting" go to pull away engine dies.

scanned, P1427 and P3000 again. Not sure when it was changed last so i've ordered a fuel filter as a first step. Is it worth replacing the sensor at this point?
Any other guidance gratefully received

the car is an E91 2006 320d Msport any thoughts?

      Engine running weird when hot

      Hello everyone, got a 116i m sport n43b20a. Had it for about 3 months and soon after buying noticed a wierd problem. When cold the car would run perfectly, however when warm or stuck in traffic you could feel it become a little bit rough, sort of a banging feel from the engine which you can feel through the car. When doing this, when driving it runs perfectly. However when you attempt to pull away, the car will drop to around 400rpm and pull away a bit bouncy, having to give it more accelerator to prevent it from stalling, whenever in reverse it does this and normally leads to stalling. Over the last 3 months it hasn’t gotten worse but it does the pulling away thing when it is cold now. Had a service >1k miles ago with plugs. Also had it smoke tested and no signs of any leaks. Does anyone have any advice or had a similar story? Cars on 161k Thanks

      I want my backup camera display on my 2022 X5 to cover the entire screen. How do I get rid of that partial camera display on the far right. It's a hindrance to human and vehicular traffic.
