Peter, this will be the dreaded 'swirl flap ingestion' .They come loose, then unnatached from the inlet manifold and at worse destroy the engine. There is a mod you can do yourself to totally remove the swirl flaps,with apparantly no ill effects. Best look at all the BMW forums to understand the problem, but you'll need lots of time, cos theres lots written about it! Cheers Colin
