i wonder if anyone can help
i have have not been happy with the performance of my bmw so i took it to a local tuner he put the fault finder on the ecu and sure enough it was coming up ecu fault.

the car idles ok and the fuel eco is sh*t
also mate has also 325i sport and he leaves me for dust
read in recent post for fuel eco check the blue temp sender (can anyone tell me how to check this)

ECU should be a 0261 200 173 for this car

just replace the coolant temp sensor, they are cheap and take a few minutes to fit, Change that before you do anything else !
