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.....

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)

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

      Engine cut-out on idle.

      Hi Allan Welcome to the Forum The fact you can hear a hiss sounds like either an air leak (inlet manifold) or a vacuum leak Both will upset running a bit more information what engine diesel or petrol would help Dave

      Engine cut-out on idle.

      I have a BMW 5 Auto Tourer Estate 2011. Tick-over very erratic - almost cutting out and sometimes does cut out whilst idling at traffic lights etc. Also I can hear a slight and constant hiss (not a whistle like a turbo fault). Any ideas what could be the problem. Many thanks.

      Morning Damien Welcome to the Forum An internet search may give more information particularly the US sites Your BMW Dealer may not have seen it but that doesn't mean its not there. I have also read that the new cars when plugged into the Dealers system now have to be linked to BMW Gmbh They really don't make it easy do they, Technology is great until it stops 😅 Hope they can sort it with a software upgrade or something simple so you can enjoy your car again (sneaking around in silent mode🤣) Dave

      Amplifier replacement.

      You are welcome Danny A BMW Dealer will not repair anything, they just change components at the Customers expense and no regard for cost I would use a BMW Vin Decoder site put the Vin number in and you should get the original build sheet Look at the list of Codes S676A is the basic Hi Fi system S688A is Harmon Kardon S6F1A is Bowers & Wilkins. Then you will know the starting point and will be able to make choices on how you move forward. BMW Designers are good at hiding components in places where they can get flooded, several models over the years have had Nav/Audio in the boot buried under the floor. Plus many of those models had a boot that could become a swimming pool if a seal was damaged or failed so moving your amp out of the danger zone makes sense. As you had the 40 amp fuses melted check the speakers as well as they may have been overloaded For service, help and knowledge there is a Register of BMW Specialists you should find more than one near you most are BMW trained they will have the equipment and Knowledge (one near me specialises in BMW/Porsche) yet is still less than half Dealer labour rates. One of those or an Audio Specialist would be on my list if I couldn't do the job myself. Good Luck Dave

      Amplifier replacement.

      Thank you Dave for the welcome and the reply. The original unit, i believe, was the next stereo up from the base unit, not anything flasher than that. BMW are about as much use as a chocolate teapot and can't/won't tell me what i need without me booking it in with them for them to look and diagnose any issues. My nearest BMW dealer is 30+ miles away and i really don't have the time or enthusiasm to make the trip for them to sell me all the OEM equipment that was removed last time the same fault happened. The issue is the well documented (and ignored by BMW) problem of water entering the boot and sills due to a design flaw, short of silicone sealing all the rear light fittings and drilling holes into my boot floor to drain the water, the issue will continue. Once i figure out what Amp i can replace this one with, i will be looking at jacking up the Amp or creating a unit to sit it in to keep it out of any standing water. Thanks again Dave.
