    Misfire on cold idle - but goes away if I rev car for 20 seconds?

    Fairly agressively, what happened, are you sure the cap sealed when you replaced it. If you have a misfire the scanner should tell you which cylinder, if you have a misfire there will be several codes are you sure your scanner is showing BMW codes correctly

    Fun car, you a buy a 6 cylinder E85 for £3or4k it's small agile most are manual you can hammer it around and have lots of fun at little cost if thats what you want. The G29 are mostly auto, an M40 costs £30k it's fast and has to be driven with discretion, it's a different kind of fun, if you...

    Another Update, BMW Pedestrian Protection System

    I did damage the pedestrian sensor on my Jag IPace at low speed it did not set the bonnet lift off and the car drove normally. The sensor itself was not especially expensive and fitted when they replaced the bumper, that was very expensive!.

    Overall opinion.

    I've had a G29 for 2 yrs is a seriously good GT tourer the M40 is fast too, a good reliability record so far. They dont make them any more buy one while you can It is not a fun car like the E85

    BMW Warranty Question

    You can choose Drivetrain only, or plus electronics, or everything, take your choice excess too, a high excess means lower cost I choose the full warranty with high excess, just over £500

    Ferrari's

    Most who have a Ferrari 250 darent drive it on the road, they are just garage queens - the car that is. I used to have a humble EType but the M40i is a lot more fun to drive

    Another Update, BMW Pedestrian Protection System

    The bumper is pretty flexible if it was hit by a pheasant or a fox at 30mph it would likely bend enough to trigger the bonnet and may not leave any damage. However it would be quite a bang you would notice it, in that case you could claim on insurance. (Keep the dead fox as proof) There must be...

    As summer goes on convertibles get less and less, more want to buy, less sell. If you want to sell you wait until the open top driving season is over, more become available in October onwards but less buyers. Lowest prices December through March. The G29 is a very good open top tourer, looks...
