Have you even thrown a misfire code? Could be plugs but judging by your miles it SHOULDNT be. Mine lasted roughly 40k. It sounds like plugs if its hiccuping. Try to contact Shiv and he will better troubleshoot with you. Im running out of ideas...

He's misfired but unrelated to the hardware. Like I said, I autotuned as low as the op in this weather.

I would take mine and enrita's advice, check your plugs. I will be changing mine MUCH more often than BMW recommends. I would start there..

Plugs changes are over rated. I swapped mine cause of all the reading on here. After 32k miles my plugs looked perfect....I'm not touching these till at least 60-70k

Come on clap, you know damn well that they should be replaced at around 25-30k miles. Whether they are burnt up or not, I would suggest changing all of them around then, you spent a lot on the car. Its only stupid IMO to neglect proper maintenance. Clap is an exception, knows very well with whats going on his is car. Since you guys are close why do you meet up and figure it out(at least I thought you were both from Ny??).
