Colleagues car went in for its last warranty check before it ends. Car a 2011 23i and 10k miles.
When she picked it up, commented the interior was very hot and on the way home, then a problem the car had in the summer re-occurred.
When you put your foot down on the accelerator the power fades. Would struggle to pull away in second.
Her normal journey to work only 3 miles, the car never gets to high temperature.
Soon as summer arrived and a motorway journey the problem occurs.
BMW obviously never cured the problem when they had it in during the summer.
I suspect a combination of being sat in traffic before she arrived plus the dealer probably ran the car to check the fans and cooling system brought the problem out again.
This would explain the high cabin temperature. No check lights on.
The dealer wouldn't see the problem as they probably don't drive the car.
She says they are going to pick it up next week to have a look. I said take the car in person, sit on car park for fifteen minutes engine running then get them to look at it.
If she's there she can put a bit of pressure on them by waiting for them to solve the problem.
This is interesting;

Anyone experienced this problem. Would Lambda sensor faults show on the check lights for instance. I say Lambda, as the only thing I can think of that would break down at high temperature.
Another strange thing, car doesn't show up on a vin checker?
