Hi kaou
My ecu issue started off similar to this, got gradually got worse.
If you use Pro Tune in gauge view you can run the motor and reproduce the actions that usually cause light to come on.
You then look for any of the readouts to flash red. This means they in "fault" even if they don't register.
For me it was the over-voltage readout which went up to 18 volts when blib accelerator above 2500 revs.
I used a screen recording program and made videos of the live gauges whilst driving. This way you can play back and see what's happening.
I don't have the files on the iPad, but when I can I will post a couple of stills and short video if you are interested.
Eventually the choking at low rpm got very severe with masses of black soot ex exhausts. Replacement ecu was the fix

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I am interested by the video indeed.

I don't have access to my car now, as I left my car in France and I am in Greece...Moreover, it is snowing here since yesterday and I wouldn't try to drive under the snow in Athens !
(I am already riding sideways with a Sportster on dry road...)

By the way, nice to see a Kiwi with a M3W as I may end up in your country sometime !

Hi Kaou

Here are a couple of short clips.
The one of the instruments shows the flash of red for an overvoltage of 18 amps, this was spurious as readings by ammeter at those times were fine and no fault codes were thrown.
This was caused by the ECU failing.

The other shows the CEL coming on as soon as the accelerator was released after an acceleration.

hope they are of some interest
