When diagnosing recent faults i found these 2 websites invaluable. Thought id share them with you.

Both are similar but BMWfans indicates costs in Euro's. Not sure how correct they are.

What was wrong with your car after ?

Truth is i dont really know. The problem was every couple of months or so you could be driving along fine then the power would go off. Felt like no boost. No rattles or squeaks, no smoke. Then it would come back on.
Service time came around so decided to do it myself and clean out a few things. Changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter. Cleaned out crankcase breather and EGR. Cleaned MAF. Removed inlet manifold and cleaned it out as well as removing swirl flaps. Back on road and power was off properly. Took inlet manifold back off and replaced some vacuum hoses and now it is OK again. Time will tell if ive only reinstated temp fault or fixed it for good. Si ive touched so many things that im not sure what caused it, other than hose replacement alone brought it back.
