Dude, you have been banging this drum for so long you should just change your name to Keith Moon and be done with it. Do you know how many POV videos have been done with the N55 M2 on the autobahn at max speed for minutes at a time? Do you realize your car could have thrown an error code for any number of reasons, from a bad spark plug to a bad tank of gas? You took that one situation, from which zero conclusions could be drawn because there were too many variables at play, and you've turned it into a multi-year indictment of the N55. If I had a dollar for every time you've posted the phrase "not up to the task" about the N55, I'd buy the Netherlands and proclaim a new law against going on the Internet and posting the phrase "not up to the task".
We get it - your car threw an error code on the autobahn. And yes, we all know there's the other member whose car threw an error code somewhere in Italy and he acknowledged it happened one time and was never repeated. If you want to be upset that your car threw an error code, nobody will take that away from you. My almost-new Mustang 5.0 once stranded me about 10 miles out of Tampa, fuel pump died prematurely. Not a fun day. But I didn't then spend literally years posting about how the Mustang V8 wasn't "up to the task". You got an error code, they happen, can we please move on? |
To be honest happened to me too. After driving for about 2.5 hours between 90-240km/h on highway (damn trucks in left lane) with a lot of WOT. My M2 2016 went limp mode. I had no idea what went wrong. Scared me big time.
After arriving home, yes max 80km/h, hooked it up to bimmerlink. Cleared codes. Read through all relevant posts here. Ordered Wagner comp intercooler, charge pipes and turbosmart pb diverter. Changed over weekend with friend.
Ever since no issue. I have suspicion of boost leakage somewhere, what I found out is that the slight swoosh sound after let off gas i had since new was gone.
Still love my car and think N55 is great for commuting and "hooning" aswell. Not selling any time soon. Btw its not an engine what makes an M car. Its the complete package. So I would love our cars to be lighter 200kg with all the ammenities 😉.
