seemed the limp mode was more early F30's and was not related to the engine, but rather to the fan not working. It was a production part # range (some dates, don't know them), but it seems to have been fixed now!

If we don't have an oil gauge, how will we know if things are starting to go bad

I push my 135 which has an n55 pretty damn hard even with a tune and have never run into limp mode.

When I had my 135i for 2 weeks after it delivered, the car would go into limp mode while slowly moving in traffic or stopped at a light for too long. I had to pull over shut down the engine for a good 15 mins and was able to drive normally again until I start to slow down. The fan never kick in after the temp goes up. The fan was broken, had that changed all is fine after.

I've seen pics and video of various cars. Most with the aux oil cooler hoses, assuming they go to the oil cooler in the front right fender. Just saw the drag race with the 235 and Lexus and did not see the aux oil cooler lines at the filter housing. Without the added oil cooler, I would be very worried about limp mode on the track. My N55 does not have the aux oil cooler and I limped it on the track (it's stock and AT), but never around town.

What were you doing when that happened?

[kerm1t]

when you get limp mode, just change it back to stock. if it still hesitates, disconnect the battery and re idle. it happened to me when i first installed jb4

[Chris in Japan]

I track my nodded m135i almost every weekend and never hit limp save when the stock chargepipe blew off the throttle body, and it's hot as fack this time of year in japan.

Engine Mods are: racing dynamics piggy back, bms intake, Wagner comp fmic, and er chargepipe

[Jerich0]

I was driving aggressively when this happened...

Mods are Afe intake and ER chargepipe, Intercooler and Downpipe.

NO JB4.

I've had the car go into limp mode two times when stock. Both times with a restart the car was fine and not a peep since.

Did you get engine fans at full blast too?

Mind you I was monitoring the temp of the engine via the hidden menu and was impressed how quickly can the car lower the temps... Whats strange is that they were normal and it decided to lower them aggresively...

Also did the limps stopped when doing a Jb4? What were you doing when your car entered limp mode?

Thanks for all the info!
