Perhaps you had better start by telling us what engine it is!
When did this problem start, have you done any recent work on the car etc
Also could you use some grammar, makes reading a lot easier for me!

errrr yeah your right was at works xmas do last night and feel abit shit
right then it s a 325i sport on g plate
at first felt like a fuel blockage or losing the spark plus felt like it was flooding on cold start so i changed the rotor arm and plugs started it it run for little bit then it cut out.
and thats it since then i have swaped over my ecu with my mate to eliminate that and my ecu was fine aint got a clue what it could be am starting to think it could be one of my sensors
any ideas welcome
cheers justin

I had to change the 'blue' temp sender on mine the other week, it would start OK, but once warmed up would over fuel like crazy, causing it to run bad.
Could be all sorts of problems really, hopefully someone with a good idea will be along soon and point you in the right direction.
Hope it was a good 'do' last night !

Coul be lots of things.
Nick your mates ECU relay and fuel pump relay for a start. ( under black cover by coolant bottle).
Check the big rubber hose between the AFM and throttle body for leaks and splits.
Check the plug and socket for the injectors and temp sensors(round plug and socket on metal bracket hidden under inlet manifold0.
Try your mates AFM/air filter assembly.
Try his ignition coil.
Try his crank position sensor (bit more work involved with this one - hope he's a very good mate).

Yeah
Take off the big rubber boot and check it thoroughly, any doubt then theres no doubt....replace it
get hold of the BMW original about Ԛ£15 dealers have them. did mine last year when I got it off split underneath which I couldnt see when fitted.
Best of luck
Keep your foot to the firewall.
