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 ?!!

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

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!

Not true Rob the csl will do 174mph on the speedo
and my delimited csl would do 186mph on a race track in scotland called the M8
The speedo is about 9mph out over 100mph with satnav

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

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.
