Hi everyone had a new problem pop up recently on the e60,seem to be down on power from cold or when warmed up when you put your foot down hard it feels like the brakes are being tapped slightly and the cars hesitant to pull. The engine management light has popped on a few times but when you switch the car off and leave it for say an hour when you go to start it again the light has gone off and might stay off for ages. I took both vanos solinoids out and cleaned them but still had the same problem I did manage to get it plugged in by my rac cover and came up with 2 fault codes which are. Dtc2a87 which he said was a Unknown vanos exhaust side Dtc2e69 knock censor signal 2 he said to change the exhaust vanos solinoid which he told me was the bottom one of the 2 on the front of the engine,I have changed it today for a new one but the problem is still there, I think I might change the other solinoid as well just in case that one is also on the way out. anything else it could be ????? Thanks everyone

Anybody ?

Hi everyone I'm Andy have recently come back to the bmw after a long time away with the jap scene. Anyway I have a bmw e60 m sport and everything was fine until last night when I went outside to start the car and pick the other half up from work and I get the restraint systems fault on the I drive,also air bag and seat belt lights are on in red. Ive done the usual Google search and seen that there is a common fault with the passengers seat pad and that you can buy a bypass module for it,so decided to have a look under the seat before I brought one and it turns out it already has one fitted ? Small box connected to 2wires blue and white. What im confused with is if it has a bypass fitted what can have brought the fault on again ? Thanks everyone.
