2002 325ti

Hi,

My 325ti has a bit of a starvation when you accelerate. What could this be?
I bought it in December 2010 with 113000km, and it now has 128000km on the clock. The car has a full service history with BMW.
Will a unichip solve the problem?

Also do you have to reset the brake indicator light after replacing brake pads? I have replaced the front and rear brake pads and sensors recently, but the light stays on.

Issue 1. Vanos seals, almost sure of it, as it is almost aways what the issue is, alternatively some form of input sensor, MAF, MAP, ect..

Issue 2, you have a bug somewhere, are you sure its not the brake service indicator, because if you replaced the brake sensors, it will switch off the light without a computer reset.

Thanks for the advice.

I thought the light had to be reset - will take the car to BMW to check the light.
