when im driving sometimes, no matter what gear im in, the turbo will spool but the engine wont go anywhere, then seconds later it will realise and continue like normal, i usually have to take my foot off the accelerator and put it back on for it to stop, so when im doing 50ks then go to 3rd, and acceletrate it wont go anywhere till i take my foot offf and put it back on.

any ideas?

I was thinking it can't be that because it happens after I chuck it in gear and it happens if I just drive in the same gear and not change it...

These words still make it sound like its clutch slip. Where is the friction point on the clutch? High up the top?

ive since discovered, **sometimes** when i put my foot on the clutch as im coming to a stop the car will act like its conking out (engine light comes on, hicas comes on, revs go to 0) then when i take my foot off, the lights go away and the engine goes back to how it was? is that a transmission problem?

Does that happen in neutral or only when in gear?

If only in gear then the clutch is buggered and its not disengaging correctly

Need some more info. If u keep it in gear with the clutch in does it try and stall or only when u are slowing?

89cal may be right about the bov but need more info

      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.
