Instead of repair/pre-maintenance on a piece meal basis, send your car to a good reputable BWM workshop. Be prepared to fork out thousands of $$$$ if you want to bring your ride to a satisfactory performance level. Otherwise forget about owning a beemer:smokin::smokin:

Transporter, To avoid any speculation, can you tell us the time it take from 0 to100 km/hr on a level road.

mine is a 525i M54
0-100 havent timed it yet..
well, the car feel sluggish when pickup on a standstill..
i have experience better pickup before i took it to service and after i bought back the car, the car is slow like turtle on pickup...

torque converter...??

 

[bimmerholic]

Maybe the gear is stuck at 2nd when at standstill in D. Transporter, try switching your gear into M mode and shift it to 1st. And throttle thereafter. Got difference?

 

[transporter]

torque converter? is it an aftermarket mod ?

bimmerholic - tried b4...no use...

faulty exhaust-camshaft sensor..?

 

[champion]

It could be exhaust or air intake.

i go change leaking oil seal..then the mechanic took out my radiator to wash...
after that he blame the fan clutch too tight...then i went back and he changed for me a looser fan clutch for free..but the pickup is not as powerful as it used to be...

 

[kby88]

i experienced this before...
before this hapen to me, i sent my car for a major service+top ovehaul
after i collect mycar, it was very slow in pickup...at trafic light, even a 660 SLK can tapau me easily...
then i took my car to mspeed and found that my cam shaft was position/timing wrongly...
after he adjust the cam position back according to the tool he had, everything back to normal....

i dono how the camshaft position can run like that,hehe...ask my mech who did the service, he said he didnt touch on that at all...:dontknow:

 

[transporter]

thanks bro! will check with my mech for it!!
btw, how much did the adjustment cost ?
