Torque issue M240i

Sax1978 · 08-20-2019, 05:42 PM

Torque isn’t spooling like it used to. When I first bought the car, the torque was immediate. Now it seems to take forever (around 3000 rpm) to finally get going. Anybody else have this problem? I have a snapshot of the car in 1st gear, pedal to the floor, rpm around 2k and tq only at 150lbs

Looks like your outside temp is 100 degrees. I assume it's heat soak and high intake air temperature.
Just my guess...

That was my thought too, accept it’s at all outside ambient temps.

A few weeks ago it was a 100 degrees here and my car ran horribly...and I have a CSF Intercooler and Dinan CAI.
IAT were 155-160!!! Horrible! It almost made me want to sell my car...almost! lol
If it's doing all the time then I'm stumped.

I’ve got the dinan CAI too. I guess that’s why I’ve been so stumped by this. It’ll be about 65 tomorrow morning on my way to work. I’ll see how it performs at that temp.

The sport display doesn't measure anything. It's a useless gimmick.

As posted above these cars heat soak easily -- If it does it all the time there is a issue ie charge pipe etc

Excuse my ignorance but isn't the A2W intercooler suppose help with this type of situation?

I understand what you are saying. However, you can feel it in the car too.
