Help!
I cleared them and with in 25 miles came back on. Now I know I did something wrong when I drove it with no gas...I put a post on bimmerfest but I didn't like their attitude...I removed the engine cover and as I was looking around I saw the two hoses way in the back to be collapsed...They looked like vacuum hoses to me but they are too big to be vacuum hoses. Anyway, replaced them with 19mm heater hose cleared the codes one more time and drove for 30 miles the SES came back on...This time it won't idle...it drives smooth, but once at a stop light it dies...In steptronic going easy on the gas pedal it will accelerate past 5000 rpm. If I go hard it stops around 3400 rpm and car goes nowhere. There is no difference between engine warm or cold. Neutral will also not bring the rpm past 3400 when giving it full throttle, partial throttle will brink the rpm's to the red line. So I had to use gas/brake to get home, I pulled the codes, same ones, no new ones. I pulled the MAF sensor, sprayed brake fluid, let it air-dry, put it back on and this is were I am right now, I have to go to work tomorrow. I was going to take it to the dealer but since I don't like them I am afraid they will butcher me...I was thinking of replacing the fuel filter, car has 49000 miles and the o2 sensor was replaced at 37000 under warranty. Car is a 01 4.4i. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have no idea either but :xoutpost: . The one thing you won't find here is "attitude". Oh, I think the SES light was a mere coincidence with the gas situation. I have driven mine many times with only 15 miles left

If there are any reputable independent mechanics in your area that specialize in BMW's, I'd personally opt to go there to have it diagnosed instead of the dealer.

Once I put in 24.92 gallons, damn if I know what I was driving on
 - Isn't it supposed to be a 24.8 gallon tank?

Interesting about the 2 'collapsed pipes'. My RR used to collapse the small pipe that went from the top of the rocker box to the air plenum and this used to cause havoc. I wonder if there are any other pipes blocked or iffy (technical term). The small one I was talking about was actually just attacked by the oil and perished which had made it 'grow' inside and therefore block.
