Yes it will have done. My advice - go for a hard drive and see if it does it again. When my HPFP failed, the car was perfectly driveable still, but just had no power and the "Engine fault drive modestly" warning - although it depends on what fails within.

Thanks
Could well be the HPFP, as I'd taken a friend for a quick 'spirited' drive shortly before that journey.Out of interest, was your warning intermittent or permanent?
(The central locking receiver also needs replacing as it died on particularly hot days the last two months, despite changing batteries in both fobs I was having to use the fob key in the door setting off both the BMW and aftermarket alarm
)
Yeah but different people like different things - and that's also what makes it interesting right
I had black grills on my 335i. As that was the only chrome part and it looked out of place to me.
The X6, the original front grills I think look terrible and again, out of place. This looks better to me.

In the context of driving? I'd say 'fast' or 'hard' or possibly: 'ragged to within an inch of its life'.

Pretty much I guess. Spirited is the acceptable face of reckless driving.
Na he's exaggerating. Just go to someone with autologic. They are able to select each module that you want updating.
For the iDrive it's 5 minutes work.
It's scaremongering as dealers CBA to hook up the car, follow all the steps etc etc. If you corrupt the install, you just start again.. it's even easier with ISTA now anyway
Because putting your foot down once in a blue moon but actually not exceeding any speed limits, in an environment that posed harm to only myself and my passenger, is completely reckless and I should be banned from driving and thrown in prison.

I didn't say that, it's just one of those terms that I find annoying.

If he did, how did he ever get out of that car afterwards, wasn't expecting that cliff I suppose.
Engine's a bit of a waste of time in that car tbh, it's pulling a relatively heavy car, 4 cylinder and just a bit...meh all round.
Can just about get away with it in the 1 series (even then it's dissapointing), not for anyone who's interested in driving in the 3 for me though.
What does everyone think of this: link
Whats the real world mpg for cruising around 70 on the motorway? Any essential spec I should look out for?
And how does a F10 compare to an F01? Obviously I get that they are different segments, but is a 7 a better car to do a 50 mile motorway return commute in?
