CSL 40mph 6th Gear floor it

[bromers]

What does your CSL do in the above circumstances ?

Mine goes a bit 'jerky' - garage reckons it's missing and one/some of the coil packs might be not working correctly. Drop it a gear or two and it's fine - no other issues.

Just wondered whether they are all like that ?

Hang on Bromers,just got into bed, but getting up again and dressed and will go and check mine !! What makes you think I only bought it last Friday ?!!:hahaha:

Don't think I've ever been doing 40 in 6th gear... Would be in 4th at 40!

[DuncanR]

Out of interest glendog, what do they max out at ? in 6th of course !!

155 of course - unless you have a delimited or remapped car

What garage is this? Surely BMW would quickly be able to tell on the diagnostics machine...

Hardly a torquey engine though is it, they are pathetic unless you rev the nuts off them!

[DuncanR]

uh ..i have a sneaky suspicion its delimited glendog ...though not remapped !

mine has had some work done recently as you may well have read


symptoms included 2500 revs and car was very jumpy when floored and even though i had headgasket replaced i put this down to the coil packs or the injectors

if your mileage is 50k i would get injectors cleaned and coil packs replaced and see

Around 170-175 then I'd say...:smokin:

But that would appear closer to 185-190 on the speedo

Driving through Belgium last May i changed up into 6th at 140mph ish and when i lifted at 170 you could tell it still had some left :supz:

I thought your car was remapped Duncan?

A limited one will show 170 odd on the dials, mine was unlimited from the factory and got to about 180 on the clocks before I decided it was a bit dangerous and it was still accelerating, though slowly, can't see them going much above a real 170-175 though as said.

_Nathan_ - I had the remap taken off my car, and left with it being delimited.

The difference the remap made wasn't enough to justify the warranty concerns in my eyes.

GPS 174mph is about right for them.

Bromers, ref original post, tried it this morning in a car park and hit a bollard ! seriously though, it just went waaaarrrrrrrrrr and built up speed as normal, im sure this post has been a massive help !

[DuncanR]

Andrew, my/your/our/their car is coming up to 60k, did you ever have a need for this to be done mate? Hope you had a good week-end.
