Thanks Ian =) ill tell my know it all machanic i was right =p

Check your battery terminals mate, same thing happened to me after buying the car. Thought id bought something dodgy but later found it was a very loose terminal. Only took me a whole 3 weeks with this annoyance to find the cause =(

Forgot to add in my last post... Iv also got a rattle from the engine.. Been to several Bmw garages and a further several bmw specialists who have never heard it before. Some said iv got the wrong oil but im thinking it might be a chain tensioner.. Any answers to this ill be extremely grateful. Thanks again

Daz, i experience that exact same 'limp home' effect the other day! The car cut out at the traffic lights... And slowly managed to get home.. But when i put it in reverse i felt a clunk and its back to normal. Im thinkin my clutch is to blame because its rattling on me when the clutch is down. If you find out the problem please let me know. Many thanks =)

Hi All Im new to the club so apologies if this is in the wrong place... I was just wondering if anyone is taking their car to Wheels Day 2012 in Aldershot on the 6th April? Anyone want to meet before entering and start up a BMW Corner in the arena? Many Thanks
