Hey im new to this site, so bare with me. My 34 has been playin up lately. while im cruising along, the tcs & slip light will light up on my dash by itself, followed by the engine light, then it will start to lose power & stall slowly, so i have to pull over on the side of the road, then i will start the car back up, sometimes it has trouble starting again, but when it starts again i can drive it again. this only happens now & then. not all the time. it really pisses me off tho. my 34 is auto by the way. Is my AFM playing up? please help. need this fixed asap.

Nah. ive replaced them for brand new yellow jackets, bcoz at first that's what i thot, but still the problem occurs. Im guessing its the AFM. Anyone else had this problem, please tell me. need help. just don't see why the TCS & slip light comes on by itself on the dash when it starts to play up. weird....

I've taken it to the auto electricians. they did the scan while they were cruising & when the car was dying they saw that the AFM was at fault. so im guessing its the AFM. Ive got brand new yellow jacket coil packs in it, so it can't be the coil packs. just hard to figure out why the TCS & SLIP light turns on when it starts to play up.

Pat just stated he had 2 out of 6 brand new yellow jacket coilpacks fail on him, maybe he got some ultra dodgey ones - or maybe they are all dodgey? nfi

Ever changed your standard panel filter assembly over to a pod yourself and left the afm plug off? does it feel like that?

swap the afm for a used second hand one and see it it is any better. should be one on here for $50-100 max.

i brought the car with a apexi pod filter already installed.

brought it late last year, just recently playing up.

im borrowing my mates afm this friday, so hopefully its just my afm thats faulty. not something major.

i'll tell you all how it went. im borrowing it for at least 2 days.

      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.
