Morning Paul Try some good electrical contact cleaner at all connections. Before you start changing parts try talking to ECU Testing or Cartronix they both have great reputations and offer a fast turn around if it is a dry joint in the ECU or similar that they can fix it will save changing the ECU and CAS with some of the issues that can raise Good Luck Dave -

Hi Dave, Heres an update on this. I employed the services of an auto electrician, who pointed me in the direction of a failed / failing ecu. However he did recommend changing out the MAF sensor first before embarking on the ecu issue, as cloning a second hand unit would be north of £200. It appears from the date code on the Bosch MAF sensor that this has already been replaced within the last 3 yrs, and swapping this out for a new one did not improve the situation, in the terrible running of the car, so I put the old one back in. I bought an ECU and CAS unit and keys ( £40 off ebay) and was going to try this first. I removed my ECU to get the part # from it and left it out of the vehicle until the replacement arrived. 3 days later I had to plug it back in to move the car in preparation for the change out, and to my surprise. It fired up and after a cough and a splutter the motor ran smoothly and was responsive on the throttle, with no smoke, or hesitation. I have tentatively taken it out multiple times on increasing distances and have now covered over 50 miles without any hesitation or smoking. Still have these 2 fault these present and stored, so still requires further investigation, but at least its driveable.. 40E9: exhaust gas recirculation control, position control 4B81: Exhaust gas recirculation rate control, control deviation -

Afternoon Gerry Welcome to the Forum I hope you enjoy your Beemer Takea look at www.realoem.com it is a BMW online parts list which should begood for your car/year. Put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box and it will call up your model. Then search the sections you need to to get any Part numbers for spares that way you know it will fit. Oil, most main brands that meet BMW LL04 SAE 5-30 Oil Filter, Mann are OEM suppliers I use ECP for most bits but always search the nett for deals to keep costs sensible, don't dismiss the Dealer though they can be competitive quite often. For Warranty, BMW Warranty isnt cheap but check them out before making final decisions My 2003 X5 4.6is was full BMW history but as the warranty had lapsed by just over a year they declined I went with Warranty Direct who took it on happily and covered it until it was 16years old (a lot less than BMW) My E70 is with Warranty Wise best price when I brought it Good Luck and most of all ENJOY Dave
