Thanks!


I'll check both of those out. There's a seemingly endless number of BMW forums out there; I'm sure finding the "right" one will take some trial and error.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

Over the weekend I traded in my 40th AE Z. I bought it used in 2013 with only 16,000 miles on it, and loved it deeply until last summer when I started having to take it to the shop every other month...

Yeah, the voltage/idle thing definitely seems to be connected. I'm paying close attention this week. Instead of driving it back to the shop (22 miles away), I'll probably just bring it to the local...

The idle issue returned yesterday, at a drive-thru. I was in neutral, right foot on brake, left foot not touching the clutch. Suddenly the idle got super low/rough with shaking, and she nearly...

I'm much calmer now. :D

Nope. I've only ever seen that light twice, and both times it was because I hadn't tightened the fuel cap enough. :facepalm:

If there is follow-up work to be done, I'll use the same place (for continuity and so I don't get charged anything more). But I've already started researching other shops.

Yesterday afternoon I was 10 min early to an appointment, so I hung out in my (running) car for a while. After 5-6 minutes, the idle got rough/low and the car shook a few times. Like, if I'd had a...

The shop I use is close to where I used to work, but is 16-17 miles from where I live and work now. I've used them regularly for the past few years, after problems with both the local...

Yep, already planning to.

It tended to flicker during long drives that included a lot of stop-and-go, and then also sometimes during idle (while at a light or something). It wasn't coming on...

Same here.

At the time I brought her in, the oil level was fine; I'd just had it changed less than 1,000 miles prior. I have no idea what the levels were like before then. I'd never had a mechanic...

Question Increased oil consumption at ~65K miles?
