I'm going crazy. I have bought a 2000, 328i and it has weird problem.
The car does not speed up and the engine is sluggish, especially when you push the gas pedal. The EML light is on and there's yellow triangle sign coming on on the dash, plus the check engine light. Now I have taken it to about ten BMW mechanics and they can not figure out the problem. I have change the air flow meter, throttle body, spark plugs and changed the oil couple of times. non of them helped.. p.s. may be the oil pump?
These are the errors that BMW dealer gave me:
1 camshaft position sensor circuit malfunction #65
2 signal, 02 sensor, bank 1&2, before catalyst, below min. value. #151/154
3 signal, throttle pedal travel sensor #172 & 111
4 engine throttle out put stage shut off #169
5 pedal travel, brakeslamp switch
6 air mass meter signal flawed #08
7 pedal travel sensor #117
8 electical power in extra of 18v #120
9 CAN connection to DME #148
10 Streering angle sensor #182
I repeat, I changed throttle body and air flow meter already
Please help me out, I don’t have Idea what is wron with this car.

it looks that your may well have a wiring problem.possibly a computer problem.these cars are specific when it comes to electical problems and diagnosis.i have a 94 525i and had some number of codes and a starting problem,turned out to be the engine wiring harness had a wire that was burnt in half inside the harness.it could start and run but could give many codes on various things.amazing how one wire could effect so many things.i replced with new harness and it does perfect.sounds like you do not have a money of top notch bmw mechanics in your area.

I could change two things and see what it does, 1. Oxygen Sensor 2. Crankshaft Sensor. they are common problems with the cars.

man I thought I was the only one with that problem. I had a 2001 325i and it did the same thing. I got rid of the car long ago and some other poor man or girl has the problem. I has been stationed in germany when I bought mine brand new. it had less than a 1000 miles on it when the radiator stopped working. after that has been fixed caused by the recall it had because of that, my triangle sensor and check engine light kept comming on. the bmw mec. could not figure what the hell was wrong with it. I took it in about 35 times and it still kept messing up. it could appear fixed, then poof the warnings came back. They told me it was a domino effect of things causing it from the compression sensors, to spark plugs, to brakes, fuses, uh what else, emissions sensors . they could not fix it and got the bmw involved and a lawyer because there's a lemon law which protects purchasers from purchasing crappy cars. if the dealer can not fix the same problem in three or less attemps, then they could have to get you your money. now I don't know because you have quit some miles on it. I think its time to trade that thing in. Oh and if you paid for any of the work on that car and it didn't get fixed, then you have to get your money back. if they don't fix the problem get a lawyer involved, because they shouldnt be charging you a dime. Email me and let me know what they do? if you had a BMW dealer do the work, then trade the car to them, they can have the problems

your problem is either a bad idle air valve or a bad dme digital motor electronics computer causing your sluggish take off. a good technician knows how to test these parts. but the camshaft and o2 sensor faults directley point to these have to be changed out also. the cam sensors go bad and there are updated parts for them which you may be able to now purchase. but another thing to check could be the alternator. I say this due to extra voltage fault. the alternators can "short circuit" and because high voltage. this could blow a fuse, check all of them, or it may fry the dme like I said. find a technician, not a parts swapper.
