Hi there!
Recently bought myself an '04 E87 116i, ran about 150k kms and had the chain replaced about 10k kms ago according to its service history log (the booklet with the car manual). Love the drive, such an upgrade from my 2000 VW Polo
I have driven it about 2000kms before the check engine light came on. After checking it and asking the seller of the car, he thought it would be the car coming from stationary for a few months to my 2hr-a-day commute and had some residue/dirt floating around. Reset the P0133 and P1168 warning and a week later again the check engine light and these codes. No noticable loss in power, average fuel consumption and performance.
However, I do notice a high pitch squeal, that reminds me of a bust caster wheel on a trolley or shopping cart. It sometimes become louder while steering a long and low angle corner on a country road. Also when turning off the engine you can hear this squeal a second or 2 longer then the engine revs. Have read some stories on here about power steering pump, but not sure about this.
Do you guys have any thoughts on it?
