Would a faulty/failed lambda sensor make my car 'chug' ?

It has the other symptoms such as using fuel like there is no tomorrow, and hesitates slightly, it also has a funny idle, sometimes idling to high then other times its fine, it was a bit of a sod to start yesterday.

I have cleaned the ICV and checked for air leaks, ive replaced the rocker cover gasket and now I don't know what else to try.

My local mechanic said he thinks it sounds like a lambda sensor but said he doesn't really know cos he doesn't like working on BMW's!!!!

Please Help

      To runflat or not to runflat.

      Morning Richard If it is an option offered by the Manufacturer it isn't a Modification would be my argument My E70 runs non-run flat tyres due originally to availability the car was originally offered with either run flat and Non Run flat I also have a set of Winter wheels and tyres. Dave

      To runflat or not to runflat.

      I think I will go non run flat when its time to change. Purely for ride comfort. Its the only thing I can fault my G21 on, you know if you hit a bump or pot hole. My friend changed his to non run flats on the mini and it made so much difference to ride comfort, and with the state of the roads these days... I'll be honest I didn't think insurance would be bothered, if a tyre fits surely its fine? I know some of them were being asses a while back with people fitting winter tyres saying they had modified their cars.
