my e39 seems to have developed an odd fault , i say odd as its never done it to myself only to others who have driven it and ive not been there to witness it
from what i can gather they get in and start it as normal then about 2 secs later it dies and will not restart off the key , will bump start almost straight away though and then it runs a bit rough , misses at idle then clears itself and will be perfect for weeks , then leave it a couple of days and it seems to do it ? car is a 1998 e39 520i touring , has new fuel filter , plugs etc fitted at the service it had about 1000 miles ago (were definatly replaced - i did the service) wondered if anyones come across this in the past before i go ripping the car apart
i just love the simplicity of my e30
