Fuel pickup issue?
During hard left-hand turn with about 1/4 tank of gas, the car goes into limp-mode and throws a CEL. After turning it off and on, everything clears and operates normally.
Is this typical of the 1M? Or is this unusual? Had a similar issue with the WRX and Subaru addressed it in the STi by placing baffles in the gas tank. |

The car always goes in limp mode after fast long corners, this happened when fuel a little more than a quarter. P/S Car is stock, this is error number 0029dc 002aaf, check the fuel pump, authorized BMW dealer told that he is OK. Last edited by 1mPanda; 03-29-2015 at 11:58 AM.. |

I had this same problem when doing left turns. You need a surge tank to solve it.
In my case I didnīt do it. I just kept the fuel tank above half on the track. |

The fuel pressure fell, the ignition was cut, I heard pops on the exhaust pipe and the dashboard lighted like a Christmas tree. So I killed the engine, restarted it again and it went back to normal. It happened a couple of times so I learn to stay always above half tank. |

I had that same issue in E46. It started when it was about 5 years old. Current E46 is 11 years old and doesn't do it. My 1M never did it either so I would take it in and have the codes read.

I have no issues in my 1m with fuel pick up unless I run it down very very low. My e36 on the other hand I need to keep above 3/4 so as not to starve the fuel pump on the track... I need to install a pump on the driver side.

I know this is a shot in the dark and your post is very old, but did you ever figure out the fuel starve issue on your 1 series? I have the same issue where my car goes limp on hard lefts if I am at 1/4 tank and would love to fix this. Was it a pickup issue?
