[QUOTE="romeo_v12, post: 572393, member: 319"] Brother Odyysey, I know how you feel. I experience something similar on my 2 month old 528i M sport with 2200km on it. Drive terrain lights came on and cannot drive above 1500 rpm. 2 weeks in AB Tun Razak and they replaced the DME unit. There was a 523i and 535i with same issue as well. The 523i couldnt start. DME takes 4 working days to come from Germany but to authorize replacement they have to do numerous tests and get BMW Malaysia to sign off purchase. I understand it is RM30k a piece. AB Tun Razak were nice enough to give me a curtesy 523i, thank you for that. Its been a month and all's good and smooth with my M sport, now 3500 km. I was told that this is a birth defect so new DME with updated software (Nov11) is the best way to go. They told me additional hp but I don't believe it. All the best to you sir, don't worry. It is a common enough problem now that can be resolved. The car is born like that. Cheers. Romeo [/QUOTE]
