hi guys

hope you are all well, after wasying weeks with bmw, i decided to take it to a local reptuable indy who stated its not the ecu but cam sensers
should bmw not picked this up?

anyway had cam sensers replaced but no joy so now i was pissed!

a friend of mines told me to stop wasting my time and try ca automotive
so i did, Mike who is a partner and also owns a-l tuning stated
it might be headgasket, after some members also stating the same
i prepared my self for a big expensive bill,

Any way, car went to A-L tuning Berkshire site , I was greated by mike
who had a look at the car and stated it would cost 2hours diag,
First impressions were very impressive, Porsches, ferraris and supercharged
m3s So i felt safe.

About 4 hours later mike called me and told me the car was ready
i was very supprised at that, so i asked him what the hell was wrong with
it,

here we go,

The throttle bodies required adapting with the main intake flap,
it costed me under £100 for the repair, i have spent hundreds with bmw
and indy specialist who both could not find the problem,

he also knew my car was remapped although he laughed and said
its rubbish, so cut a long story short i am going to try a ca-al map
which comes 14day money bk warranty, so what do i have to lose?
Going back in 2 weeks time.

i am contacting my solicotor to get legal advise about bmw,
i dont think i will ever use a main dealer again, bloody useless
over two weeks they had the car, i have done 200 miles in it
and its pertfect amd even more smoother, respect to mike at a-l.

anyway its going back in for a dyno map so i will be posting dyno charts
etc...

i just want to thank every one on this forum for their support and advise
including thorney and geoff steel.
