Thats comforting to know then, so not unique to mine. As you said, ease off for about 20 ~ 30 secs and it dropped fast .. weird.
It has gone into limp mode though, and management light on,happened halfway home in Belgium.
Only BMW would come up with a car that does 90 mph in limp mode !

Going into Elms tomorrow for yet another Broom head ... or is it a handle ??

Brake pressure sensor appears to be playing up too.

Fook sake Shim .... I told you it was round Kesselchen !!

My foot was flat to floor, and through the kick down, which is as technical as I can explain it mate!
Sport on - S5 - M sport on (as in a bit of traction off) AC on - windows shut - car unwashed - driver sober.

It seems to happen only on 100% trottle on the uphill sections. I turned the aircon off & turned on the heater full blast to dissipate some of the heat but that didn't improve things much.
Went out Sunday morning first thing, temp 23deg but water temp never went past 3/4 way.

Hope it's not the HG

**shimmy** · 21-08-2012, 11:46 PM

it seems to be all get this as cars get older

hot days, heat soaked car, 100% throttle plus maybe uphill extra load, but full airflow dont help,

solutions being sought
