can anyone suggest a way of fixing my '00 523 touring(e39) of the
following problem....

basically it is very poor off the mark and lethargic to
drive...obviously the car should have power but it seems to be dead...

if anyone else has had similar problems and been able to fix them,
could you please share this information, the car is no longer under
warranty.

thanks

Assuming it was ok once and you've not just got unreasonable expectations,
I'd guess at a VANOS fault.
