Well, the 3 has no fault codes, so still unsure what might've caused the odd throttle cutting-out moments a couple of weeks back.

It goes in for service next week so the Indy is going to check if there are any updates that need doing.

Still getting used to the Sessantas. Feels odd, floaty. There's definitely less sharpness on turn in and I'm driving it less like the 197 now. But by jove they're grippy!

Traction control?
It really sounds like the old MCS stumble problem. Get a remap!

I noticed some white 'stuff' on the back plate used to hold the air filter.

Aluminium corrosion?

Despite going into limp mode, there were no stored fault codes when my gearbox was being problematic on the 545i. I had to actually drive into the dealer in limp mode and leave it running for them to plug straight in before they found out what was wrong.

So lack of codes isn't necessarily proof that there's no problem. Try to work out how to repeat it.

Did you say it only happens when you boot it? (As per the "stumble").

Only happened once. Well, 4 times in one go.

Gearbox is silky smooth at waft pace, and smooth when tatering it. But on a hurry up pace it does thump a bit, like it's getting confused on change up.

I'm sure it needs a couple of updates. One PHer suggested a tear in the MAF hose though.
