Thanks to Dave I hope to have fixed my first problem mpg.Erg thermostat replacemnet.
Now to the second issues.
I get an engine fault on my car when I just start up.Can happen even when I just turn the key.
Power all seems fine.
What can this be.It does not store the fault on the computer,Ran a check and get a fault on 6 cylinders.
Could it be a pump issue or sensor issue,
Cheers Romal

Its not storing any codes but is giving you reduced power (limp home mode)? What does the statement above mean?

My Ride: Metallic gray '05 545i Sport Black Leather with HUD, Step, Nav, PDC, CWP, K&N Air Filter, Black RPI scoop, Black painted calipers, 35% F1 Pinnacle tint, 19" RDSport RS-2F rims with Continental ExtremeContact DWs.
I've gotten this error several times on my '05 545 over the years. The car doesn't seem to run any different, and when I shut it off and restart, the error msg goes away. The dealer has never mentioned this as a fault, so the system is not storing it. I've been ignoring so far. Hopefully your problem is not an issue either.
