Idle speed control
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
For idle speed control, the Digital Engine Electronics (DME) control the following factors:
- Air mass (via Valvetronic and electrical throttle-valve actuator)
- Injected fuel quantity
- Point of ignition.
The set engine speed when idling depends on different conditions, for example coolant temperature or power requirement of the auxiliary components.
We can assume no liability for printing errors or inaccuracies in this information and reserve the right to introduce technical modifications at any time.
