Hi, as you can see, over 250 people read your post but not a single reply.

Our beast are complicated machines. Reduced power is one of the toughest problem to pin point / properly diagnose and repair as it could be a lot of number of things.

The best you can do is to take it the dealership, have them continue to pull codes and replace parts until the problem goes away.
Sorry I wish we could be more help.

Keep us posted.

I wish you the best.

i had the same issue not so long ago... drove me insane as it happened every now and then. well a couple of bmw trips later they found out the problem was the clutch so they changed it aswell as the flywheel and a clutch position sensor. problem is now completely gone. could be the same issue... also they did do a complete progman idrive update which i asked them to do

Hi all after the diagnosis test the brake booster is still showing a fault but i dont think its that as the brakes are all working fine and been fully tested so maybe just a ghost code ??? but also showing as a fault (pressure regulator fault,possible pressure regulator,fuel pump,fuel pump relay,fuel pressure sensor,so i think i will start small on the new parts and see how it works out hope this helps others

Thanks for the update.

Are you saying you had to get the ECU itself replaced?

Hi Dan yes

Yikes! I know ECU is expensive!

Your car was out of warranty?

Shame on your local BMW dealer for not being to diagnose and fix the problem.
