ive just read a post on here explaining that it means nothing basically and not to worry about - something about battery short to ground.

Have a look at the thread labelled MANIFOLD RUNNER.

Apologies if it was yourself that posted that original thread, it was one of the replies on it that said the above info but for some reason i can no longer see the thread - hope it helps

If i remembr right mems 3 engine management was the old bmw 3 & 5 engine management, it was a divice that closed a butterfly in the intake manifold to disrupt the air flow on idle, more than likley just a ghost code left in place, just like you might get a steering fluid pressure sensor fault even though it is no longer used...

I had my car at an authorized garage yesterday and they found the fault cose P1520 on my car aswell. Appearently it's not deletable and not to worry about. They had had other cars with the same fault code aswell with no problems.
