Can I feel a misfire problem from inside the cabin?
Ive had the car misfire twice, both on cylinder 1 or 6 I cant remember which. Could I feel a misfire issue from sitting in the car at idle? The rpm needle doesnt move, but I feel a vibration and can hear a change in pitch for a split second. When my old camaro did this there was a miss issue. But the 335 vibrates so much normally I cant tell.
It also feels like I have a laggy acceleration at slow speed. Again however, this is an issue with these cars. So the vibrations and lag, could be a miss, or it could be how most of the 335's are normally. How can I tell the difference? Thanks

Has there been any lights(SES) on your dash board? Does it happen on cold starts?
This might help you out... http://www.bmwtis.com/tsb/bulletins/...p/B130409g.htm

Yeah I got an ses both times, obdII says it was a misfire on cylinder 6 or 1, I cant remember. So I definately had two misfires. I just wondered if I could feel any difference in the car or only when a misfire happens. Ill check the link, thanks.

Depends on the misfire: sometimes you can feel it (usually a car goes into a limp mode in such sutuations), sometimes there's only a shadow code.

Just had my car serviced per this SIB. It completely fixed the rough idle/misfire problem which had gotten so bad the car was almost undriveable after a cold start.

During idle, does the engine sound and feel completely smooth? I notice a slight change in pitch and a tiny vibration every few seconds.
