On hard accelleration ussually after going over a speed hump.

At 5000rpm hear a sound from the engine a bit like what you'd expect from a noisy error buzzer and the rpm gets stuck at 5000 rpm for a couple of seconds and no acceleration of car.

.

Has anyone experienced this and what do I need to do to fix it?

its not the auto gearbox getting stuck between a shift is it?

auto gearbox normally shifts around 5k rpm, it could be that its having trouble moving up to next gear, so it takes a small amount of time to move up.

Could be an electrics problem (altenator, battery or ecu) or perhaps the gearbox is on its way out?

Used to happen occasionally in the supra, gear shifts would take a few seconds, and during these few seconds the car would keep revving (car would lose acceleration too)

car sounds more like its grinding ERRRRRRRRRRR

completely different engine/exhaust note! Like I said before - an alarming ERROR BUZZER just slightly louder than normal when under full boost. It kind of reminds me of a sound like air trying to be blown so super hard/fast through a horn so that the noise goes away! blabblabblab at extremely high frequency.

This does not happen on a smooth road. Only when accelerating HARD just after the front wheels go up onto a big speed hump, going over speed humps which jolt the car.

Beyond me, sorry, im a simple man :D

it does sound like a gearbox issue though, do you still shift thru gears with your auto as if it is manual? (ie shift to '2' when approaching lights)

Maybe get a mechanic just to have a quick check over the car, just make sure nothing is loose?

no fully auto in power mode.

I'm starting to think that the speed hump may be causing the gear to change early.

Also I feel that it may be compressor surge on the turbo.

What I would like to find out is - if the exhaust pipe is not firmly mounted could it cause this sort of problem? My exhaust pipe could be bumping around a bit. Its 3" inc dump.

Also could brake issues such as air in lines or uneven disks cause this? I have ABS.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
