318 won't go past 15 mph ok well my 318 won't go past 15 mph and i have no clue what could be the problem, it goes onto second gear but it doesn't seem to have enough power to go past 15. im just wondering if anyone could help me figure out the problem |
plugged cat? |
Is this RPM or speed based? Do you have a manual or auto box?? |
Sounds like it's in "limp mode". |
Ill give you $16.99 for your car. I mean, it's on the for sale section and you didn't give a sale price. So thats my OBO. LMK. |

you'd have to figure out what's wrong with it and fix it, it might be whatever problem had your check engine light on got worse over time or a completely different problem popped up, scan the codes, it will at least point you in the general direction |

bad maf? Could be injectors maybe? Throttle body not opening properly? |
You'll need to buy an OBD-II scanner to read the codes. Link or the port is on the driver's side under the steering wheel; where the foot-light is at basically. Or you can buy a peake tool which is specially made for the BMW's to read codes. It'll run at least $70 for a used one up to like $150 for a GOOD one. Depending on how detailed you want it. |
