Hi guys, I have 2008 e90 323i.

Today while standing on the traffic signal, when I accelerated, I noticed my car had a jerk like it miss fired and then accelerated. It gave 1 sec phase and then picked up. This doesn't happen when I accelerate while driving but only happens when I kick off from 0 speed (stand still). I am not getting any warning or not lights. I am also noticing any difference except it pause in acceleration while taking off from stand still.

I also noticed the overall instant pick up from 60-80 or 80-90 has decressed and the RPM doesn't shot instantly while I paddle on gas for more power, it moves slowly. this has happened after this issue or may be I am imagining.

Does anyone has any idea what this can be or bigger (serious) problem it is ?

Note - when I slowly paddle on gas, I do not feel the jerk but thats deliberate as with normal driving we paddle a bit more while taking off dorm 0.

Looking to hear your expert advise, thanks.

does it do it when it's cold?

My e93 does the jerk thing from a cold start when I'm at a complete stop. After the car's warmed up it doesn't do it but that is apparently by design.

In terms of loss of power, I'm not sure. If you think it's misfiring, could be coils or plugs.

I also have a 323i and i only get that jerk on a cold start. After letting the car warm up for a couple of minutes the jerking stops.

Hi guys, I showed my car to mechanic and it came up with A127 code. Just wondering if anyone knows about this code? Mechanic said it's not coil or spark plug issue as car is not vibrating or shaking on stand still.

He asked me to drop the car so that he can have a look n investigate as he needs to check fuel presure etc. but can't say anything precise wat the issue can be.

Just wondering if anyone knows wat code A127 incorrect signal from engine management means? Thanks.
