V36 Front Sensor Damage?

[cog404]

Hi guys,

I've recently bought a 2008 370gt v36 import and it's been running like a dream. Then earlier this week while sitting at a set of lights, this van in front of me starts rolling backwards towards me (moron didn't have the handbrake on and didn't realise he was moving backwards). I beeped several times but eventually his tow bar hit me in the center of the number plate.

It looked like a small bend in the number plate (no apparently damage to the actual car) and I bent it back very easily, but since then the car just doesn't feel the same; slight hesitation off the mark; movement at low revs doesn't feel the same. It's fine if I punch it into the higher rev range, it accelerates smoothly once you hit it hard, but at low speeds something feels inconsistent.

Does anyone have any ideas about whether there's a sensor behind that front number plate that somehow affects revs, and what (if anything) I can do to get things running smoothly again?

Any advice appreciated.

It's all in your head.

That's my suggestion.

Drive the car until the needle gets to E, then full tank with Mobil (7Eleven) 98RON fuel .

Front number plate/bumper has no effect on your engine man.

Cool, thanks guys.

Yea it just doesn't make sense. Maybe a bad batch of fuel. I've only used 98 (only get out what you put in)
