Ah-ha! Clever clogs has sorted the following:
Bought a 3.0 E85 in Eastbourne, drove her home (150 miles) never missed a beat & loved every minute.
Being an 'arse' & even though she had been serviced 4k miles ago I had her serviced at mate's garage, oil-filters-gearbox oil-diff oil & felt chuffed.
Took her on an A road & 20 miles on, the dreaded EML light came on, no change in how she drove so carried on.
Back at mate's garage his OBD came up with 'lean bank 1 & 2' but no specific problem. Apparently non genuine air filters have a tendency to bring on the EML, so, changed for a genuine BMW one (£21 please sir!!) installed & test drove..........local roads no problem, main A road on cruise at 65mph (I'm old!) 40 miles on...........EML light again!
We must have touched something on the service me thinks, took the air cleaner off & with a torch there's an elbow from the air cleaner to the throttle body that has a corrugated rubber connection......yep! cracked in-between the ribs of the rubber.
Just need to sort one from BMW & we'll be sorted.
A common problem people say, so if your EML light comes on this could be the answer.
