    I actually just diagnosed and solved an almost identical problem on my ZHP

    #1: have you taken your car to your local bmw dealership for the Airbag recall(s) ?
    #2: do you have BMWScanner handy to know what you're up against?
    #3: what codes come up consistently if you ARE scanning it regularly?

    Thanks JR. They want me to test things that are known good so far, so I am still keeping an eye out for other ideas.

    Have you been able to rule out any problems with the cluster itself so far?
    Well, if I do the cluster test, all seems normal, but I haven't gone further other than clearing the faults which have not returned. Is there something else that I should be doing to test it?

    Oh really? Same issues I am seeing? I thought that I was turning into the black sheep.

    1. I keep getting hate (love?) mail/email/automated calls about getting the driver's side replaced, but short of towing the car to them for this, it would be helpful to be able to drive it in there. Pass. side was done roughly 2 years ago.
    2 & 3. I have the PA Soft software. Faults seem to jump around a bit as up on the original posting, but never a CEL which is really a bit odd. Car currently pegs full hot, I hear an electrical "click" under the hood, and then it cranks but will not start. Almost like a fuel pump, but before sending the DME in, the car started and ran for 15 minutes without issue.

    Do you suspect it is a grounding issue, or I guess I should ask what you found to be the source of the problem for your car?
