hi..when im going the car just loosing power.when u put ur foot down it looses all his power,just dies out then gets all the power back,its like its not geting petrol orv not geting spark propely,cud it be the petrol filter???it woudent rev the other day,if i put my foot on exelreater it bogs down, Hi, I too am having a similar problem with my 98 316i. Whist driving for the past two weeks the car has been a little slugish accelerating. A few days ago the car just lost all power and I was not able to restart it. Could this be the same problem? And what should I do?
