Hi Gary,

Welcome to BMWOC, Would be great to see a thread in our new members section introducing yourself when you have a moment

quite a few things can cause this sort of thing. Whens the last time she was serviced? From this information, we can judge what things need to be looked at in the right order

Flat-spot eh?

You suggest "starvation" of fuel - This "could" be a fuel-pump issue or even the pressure regulator BUT...

Take out a spark-plug or three and examine their condition - lack of fuel (LEAN) gives whitish deposits or ceramic damage, whilst sooty/oiled depicts over-fuelling or lack of air...

I'm sure many will agree its time to clean her out ! ICV, Throttle-body and the other usual suspects etc ;)

      BMW CHANGING GEAR TO NEUTRAL DURING DRIVING

      Morning Chris Welcome to the Forum It could be a number of things you need a Diagnostic Scan to tell you more It could be anything from a Gear selector switch to a Service on the box needed and several things in between Dave

      X1 gearbox service

      Morning Cornel Most Main Dealers are North of £200 per hour Google the register of BMW Specialists they are normally ex BMW Tech's and will have all the Kit and Knowledge you need more important their Hourly rates are around half the Main Dealer's same applies to ZF Trans Specialist's I have always serviced my own cars (hobby) and my wife thinks it's safer than me helping in the garden 😁 I did my X5 earlier this year I brought genuine a ZF service kit £190 OEM Transfer case fluid £70 front and rear diffs £80 total £340 The transfer case on an E70 is a Faff as BMW decided to hide the drain plug behind the Transfer box support cradle but once I worked it out it went well, whole job took me a morning with coffee and biscuits Dave

      X1 gearbox service

      Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. I've only had the car for 2 weeks and so far it's running good, i could probably diy-it but I've not done it before so the missus won't let me🤣( it's her car) . Local BMW dealer quote me 830£ for gearbox service and 550£ for transfer box/boxes service. Safe to say I told them I'll sleep on it for a bit😁

      Inherited an R56? 2009 ONE

      I’m guessing this one hasn’t been serviced since it was born! … I took the filter box apart and it needs replacing. Someone has tried to fix it before, but it’s beyond alive now! Haha. the bootlid needs either pushing out or replacing, as does the rear bumper after it got into a fight with a bus… and a rear light… apart from that, it seems well. 😂
