bad Day..

Hi,

Bounce- I do not think there is changeover
date as such, so its luck of the draw and
what was in the parts bin when your car
passed it by.

My CSL had Bemis in it when I purchased it
but it was S/H, so who knows.

Was the first thing I changed.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

I was under the impression there was a part number change to the later ones? I don't know them by name only early and late, I may be wrong.

I all

Had just the the feedback of Bmw following the DIS Check done this morning Nothing broken, translate to english, the guy told me (it's not even very clear to me but it would say )

started with and followed with:

1) Misfire cylinder N°5 due to low petrol injection feed
2) Misfire cylinder N°5 safety engine mode engaged (ignition problem)
3) Safety mode engaged due to bad lambda measures
4) Misfire cylinder N°3 and 5
5) Catalyst protection mode engaged due to bad lambda measures
6) Misfire cylinder N°5 safety engine mode engaged (ignition problem)

I have No clue and no idea about what is really wrong, My petrol tank was not empty, still had around 1/4 of it, and the orange tank light low level was not on...

when I got the car out of the track an hour later engin cooled down, It started again on 6 and 3 miles driven on streetroad , I lost again one cylinder.
I got the tank filled up and the ignition on the cylinder never came back even by driving 2 or 3 miles...

On Bmw side, they started the car this morning let it run 30mn and all was ok (without changing any parts), they drove it around easy (due to the crack in the brake rotor) without any problems... it take it's 8000rpm and so on...

From there point of view, they suspect coil Cylinder N°5 and eventually the N°3 to be weak....

I took option and told them to change all coils and spark plugs and eventually change or clean injector and clean injections lines

Hi,

The Bremi Coils were used by BMW from
the outset, then for whatever reason
they started with their 'own' COP which
were used on the X5/7's etc and so on.

The Bremi's were used up, and phased out
but they were already using its replacement.

Interestingly, all NA S54 Cars upto I think it
was late 2004 early 2005 got Bremi's !!

So with 10 BHP less, Bremi COP, solid
Front and rear Discs, even slower SMG
Software, the guys in Munich, apprently still
have some issues with North America.
