Just out of interest Xenon - what fuel do you use? ie supermarket fuel? Shell? and what octane? 95, 97 or 99?
Mine performs like a different car when it has a full tank of Shell VPower

It is BMW CS in Hook. I did remind them I have spent over 100k with BMW since 2002, the guy was really sorry but the service dept. at the dealer had told him it was a characteristic, so end of story. I have spoken to the dealer today and am awaiting a reply tomorrow. I have really lost faith with the brand now, will probably just get out of the car and buy something else. |

Sorry - only just noticed your question. Generally, I go to the Asda supermarket as it is near work, out of convinience more than anything, and fill-up with regular 95 octane. I haven't tried 99 in this car (used that in the Porsche) but perhaps I'll try it to see. But as I say - I seem to be in a minority of having a 320i that does not exhibit the problems that others have had.

Thanks Crisbin, interesting read.
Everyone in now ignoring my calls, so I have now decided to place the matter with my solicitors in Camberley who will now deal with the issue on my behalf. Its a shame it has come to this...... |

It is a shame I agree. Still, look on the bright side. You may be able to get a favourable swap on a higher-spec model like Chris did. I was unmoved by the navigation / i-drive before in view of the price, but the new HD i-drive with the 8.8" screen looks very cool.

'We can definitely fix it' Excellent, going in Monday to have coils, injectors and plugs checked and a new ECU fitted along with a new program. I have said this really last chance saloon and it needs to be sorted this time.
