hi all i need some advise/help

i got a 328ise saloon yesterday,

now it feels like its holding back and dont have as much power or go as you would expect from a 2.8

it developed a very slight misfire on idle and up to about 3000rpm, but then it made a sharp jolt while driving and now missfire seems to have gone but its still feeling very sluggish

any ideas what this could be caused by???

also when sat not moving if i rev the engine to just over 4000rpm in a short burst she chucks a little smoke out but it dont smell like oil or anything never smelt it before???

the chap i got it off said it had been sat up for 5 months before me having it so wondering weather it chocked up and just needs a good clear out ????

any help or advise would be brill

thanks in advance!!

sorry, when you said it needs a good clear out I instantly thought of a 'certain' club member saying his a 3 sh*ts a day kinda guy and I loled a lil...

Sounds like it needs a good service to be honest matey as in, new plugs, oil, etc.. etc..

After you do that, then get back here with results.

If you was misfiring, maybe your timing isnt spot on.....

yeh i have got a full service planned for it, just gota get the money together for parts as im going to do it myself.

my older brother had a go in it earlier and really opened it up and seems to be running smoother now, (think it might be all sooted up from where was sat up for a while)

either way once got the parts and serviced it shall post results up here.

cheers.

Get your parts from a good supplier and they are cheap. For my car I can get an oil filter for like, a fiver, plugs for like 1.50 etc. etc. I'm such a regular customer, they GAVE me a new grille for my car the other week HAHA

      Rumble at rear left under acceleration

      Hi, I've had this F20 for almost a year but has started a rumble noise and I can feel it to. Basically this rumble comes from the rear left when under hard acceleration at only certain revs, I'm thinking a bad drive shaft maybe ? I have a few other things in mind that it could be but thought I'd give this a go to see if anyone knows the exact problem to save me waisting time looking at the wrong culprits 😅 Thanks in advance and hope you all enjoyed Christmas 👍

      X1 problems with connectivity and Carplay

      X1 25e 2024. Intermittent problem with CarPlay , Android Auto and Bluetooth. Started off by not automatically connecting, sort by turning off car, locking, unlocking and starting car. Progressively has got worse. Have connected through cable, without cable, Bluetooth and still won’t work. Have deleted on phone and then tried to search but won’t connect. Have rebooted my phone, same for my wife who has an android phone. will now delete our profiles and then restore. After that I have run out of ideas. Fault appear to be that Bluetooth is not being broadcast by the car. Any ideas what to do next would be appreciated

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew BMW ISTA/INPA is a program I have loaded onto an old Windows laptop I brought it probably 6 to 8 years ago as an upgrade to the copy of INPA I already owned as an aside the same Laptop has copies of several Diagnostics Mercedes Star Volvo I also have a copy of BMW 1.4.0 on there If you are mounting it on a Laptop I would go for ISTA/INPA cost should be around £100 when buying go for a good supplier offering back up (as always cheapest isnt always best) Your E61 will have around 100 Control ECU's and Sensors ISTA will find and read them all or show them as a Greyed out box. These can be ivestigated and fixed as the program includes Wiring Diagrams Workshop Information with Pictures and Diagrams which obviously are a great help My neibour brought iCarsoft for BMW which has free upgrades (he tells me) I have looked at it and it seems very good but lacks the WIS obviously again a one off cost BMW themselves started to block access to their Technical Information website now subscription only in 2019 they also did the same for their parts website but for cars up to 2019 it is still a great tool. Hope this helps not hinders Dave
