Hi team
I know this was brought up before, however cannot find any fix, I mean direct fix to the issue.

My E90 320i threw this fault before it was decat! and now after decat still throws it with other misfiring errors. This car went to Budler, and he mentioned this fault, but said he didn't do anything as it was not necessary. However if the car still shakes on start up then they may need to be replaced. These babies cost 5k a piece. Don't want to buy things that are not the problem. I know someone must have had this issues and somehow sorted it out

A pointing to the right direction would help/ .. and recently did the valve stem seals, change the rocker chain and other things cost me 22k:cry:
now how can you guys help hmm:cartel:

Give these guys a shout. http://lambdapower.co.uk/
Using them right now for my Z4 as BMW quoted me over 18k for 4 sensors.
Will give a full update on my experience once I've actually got the parts in my hands, but right now it's looking like they'll cost me in the region of 6k all in. They respond to emails really quickly but the phones are often difficult to get through on.

I know some people have had lambda sensors cleaned at Dieselec. They use the same "bath" they use to clean injectors. Can't guarantee it will word but might be worth a shot if your mileage is not too high.

Hi Forum
:praise:
Just an update on 2c24 mixed up error. I have finally managed to sort it out. it so happens that someone working on my car did a stupid thing by swapping the injector connectors.

I swapped connectors 3 and 4, beast is now working like a charm, :praise:

Hi folks

Great to hear that OPs issue was resolved.

I'm a newbie and need your expertise please!

I've got a 2013 335i (F30) M-Sport A/T. Problems:
-Car seems a bit sluggish all around, particularly at low revs
-Has "threatened" to cut out when slowing down (nearing stop) only for the revs to reset to the idle range

Just been to BMW for a service and they reckon that the pre-cat O2 sensor needs to be replaced. They've quoted R8.5k for ONE SENSOR! Is there any reliable alternative source for this part (OEM or not)?

Also, would you guys recommend any BMW experts (aside from the dealers) in the Durban/Umhlanga area who do great mechanical work on these beemers?

The part number is 11787596924

Thanks guys!
