And now to something completely different. Or maybe not as I was thinking that my low mpg figures was due to som kind of fault with the engine or something, I had my car dynoed yesterday and it produced 179 bhp and 210NM compared to its rated 173/200 so my engine must be pretty healthy

Hey! Everyone has probably already sold their 320si? I have the same startup problems, and effect dip between 2000-2500rpm. Has anyone solved this yet? Mvh Fredrik

I still have mine. I think I might have worked out whats wrong. I read my supplement manual last week (I was bored). It clearly states that the valve clearance must be done every oil service. Not every other service as per OBC informs stealer. If you haven't had an oil service done recently or are due one get the clearance done too. Mine seems to be ok now.

Mine is at the dealer now.The warning symbol with a red car on a lift suddenly came on.
The engine is still running very rough when started from cold. |

Have you had any valve inspection (not to be confused with normal inspection). My stealer always takes a full day to do this. I think its so that the engine will be cool enough to work on.

Sounds like you have an earth fault in boot or rear light clusters are faulty.
I've not had any bulbs blow apart from front main beams which I changed to a brighter type - they only lasted a year (I keep lights on all the time).

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Nope we don't get that option - it was £615 option. Really wish I had it as the standard lights are rubbish. I prefer to keep lights on as it helps me being seen by other when flying around roundabout too quickly. ![]()

Mine is at the dealers now (3rd day now) for the exact same fault but they are unable to find anything.
I suspect because we've had a nice few days its been too warm for the fault to rear its head, as mentioned above seems to happen when cold or damp. Mine is out of warranty on the 26th so really need to get this sorted! How much is the valve clearance service? Cheers Dan

Maybe - mine started nine month into ownership just before 1st oil service.

I recently purchased a used 320si with only 13.000 km on.
So far no problems...all is good! I am worried however, because I have seen 2 cases of problematic engines (one had a "component failure" and the other a problematic piston rod) and heard of another one. Now I read an "intermittent starting problem", but I don't have any issues thus far. What should I do in order to avoid any types of these issues and be safe, regarding servicing? I have read something about a "valve service". When should this be done (after how many kilometers) and how should I describe it to my dealer. Should I worry that this will happed to me also? ![]()
