BMW 116i VERY rough running.

Does anyone have any insight to this?? BMW n45b16a 2006 116i (non eccentric shaft, non balancer shaft) Came in many moons ago due to correlation between crank and cam signals being out of sync. Had a genuine timing chain and guides as well as oil suction tubes etc renewed and it ran much better and ...

Throttle position sensor? Possibly not registering WOT signal. They're known to fail due to oil ingress.

Re:

I've been quoted £1800 plus materials which will be in glasurit for a full sport to be painted. And that's not including strip and reassembly. That'll have to be done by me. So for £1500, it's either a bargain or may be sub standard.

Can anyone actually give an indication to the cars and/or persons whereabouts as oppose to what's possibly become of it and how wrong his/my actions are instead? And probe in to reasons and details purely to give their opinion which is actually of minimal use?

Basically the car needs hydraulic valve lifters... Adapting the valvetronic won't necessary help the cold running. The lifters are glazed and can no longer hold pressure.

Ok. So you have your vehicle which with just over 12 volts cranks the starter motor happily and fires your car in to life. So there's ample oomph available... Why aren't there self propelled alternators?? They have less rotational resistance. You'd switch the ignition on, a 12 volt, 2500rpm motor st...

Re: Coilovers VS Springs & Shocks

Youre better buying a top end spring and shock kit (bilstein/h&r) compared to a budget or mediocre coilover kit. And if it's for the road only. Then only go as far as a proper suspension overhaul with a b12 kit. Anything more than that is just unnecessary
