3-4 weeks ago, I had about a week, where the revolution speed directly after starting the engine would osscilate about 1.000 rpm. Be the engine hot or cold. Press the accelerator once and it was gone. The shop checked the car for saved errors, nothing. Yesterday morning when starting, the starter runs but the engine doesn't fire. As if there was no ignition. Stop the starter, start again and it fires up as if nothing had ever happened. BMW now wants data collected from my car. Fuel pressures in various driving conditions. Now what does that tell me?
Anyone else show similar signs?
Oh... and btw... my front brake dics didn't even make the 10.000km mark. They had to be replaced after approx. 9.000km. BMW is actually trying to tell me, that it must have been someting I did to their "technology derived from the racetrack" brake discs. Sure. I braked. Hard. And more than once. The pads didn't like that and killed the discs.
I'm still impressed by the car. BMWs (BMWs mind you, NOT my dealers) failure handling is... eeerrr... let's say "not impressive".

Sounds like HPFP to me also. Exactly the same symptoms as mine on the 135i before that gave up the ghost.
Pad and discs sound worrying...
