Not the clear cut outcome you wanted.
I hope they make the unfortunate episode as stress free as possible for you.
Sadly not. But tbh it is the expected one. When it came back to life and the dashboard wasn't lit up like a Christmas tree I did fear this outcome. So far, the BMW mechanism has been very efficient, other than enterprise taking half a day to find me a car. I suspect that may well all change when I broach the subject of handing it back. And
Unless BMW centrally pull something out the bag that's what I'll push for I think. I need a vehicle I can trust for work. Also There's no way I could go full tilt in the thing knowing it might fail at any time so no enjoyment to be had in it either.
Sad really
I can understand that. The thought of it happening mid-overtake one day would probably haunt me.
I've had 2 cars that have done that on multiple occasions:
Rover diesel, used to go to idle if you touched the brake at same time as accelerator - not uncommon with slightly misjudge a tight overtake, and just need to lose a bit of speed without taking turbo off boil. Solution, which I became reasonably adept at after a while was as soon as it happened, release throttle completely and re-bury it. Still scared the crap out of me.
Shitty Focus, used to go to limp randomly (but no EML), often if used near rev limiter. Only solution was switch off and back on, not viable during tight overtakes. Dealer could never find fault, but admitted they had seen a few with similar issue, and were awaiting an answer from Ford. In the 2yrs we had it, they tried 2 or 3 firmware updates, all supposedly to fix this, but it never improved.
