bobbytats666 1 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 E32. The car was operating fine but now for some reason it is holding in first gear till 5000 rpm then surging into second, at which point the EML light comes on..Once I turn the car off the light goes out and she's seriously down on power... I haven't had the car long and is my first BMW....any suggestions Sent from my NX007KL8G using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 is it running on 6 or 12 cylinders? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbytats666 1 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 I presume 12...how would I check that? Sent from my NX007KL8G using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 rev it in neutral, will rev up very quickly and sounds like a silky 12 or rev slower than usual and will sound like a 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobbytats666 1 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 Seems to have a lag in response and increase slow but picks up noticeably above 2000rpm Sent from my NX007KL8G using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted November 28, 2015 sounds like its a straight 6 then, I have found the DMEs die in them, just a very tightly packed DME box so they do get very warm. Where abouts are you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
