I just picked up an 02 955i yesterday and upon riding it home I got a very loud backfire on deceleration. It does not happen until I am in a lower gear and only happens once - but it is very loud. Almost like a gunshot. I picked the bike up in the city and was afraid I would start a gun fight when this thing went off with a crowd of people at a corner.
It is not the usual popping on deceleration, but a big, loud boom - and only once as you decelerate at lower speeds. Did not happen on highway as I was decelerating at high speeds.
I have searched the threads on this issue but no one else seems to have the single, loud boom problem. Any suggestions?
BTW - the bike is awesome. At 54 my body wasn't crazy about the riding position but it just reminded me I need to lose some weight and get back in shape. What a great bike. I will post some pics by this weekend.
