The car is shaking

maximal · 03-28-2010, 09:51 AM

When I start the engine the car is shaking very hard and after few seconds the engine turns off automatically.
My car is E93 325i N53 engine.

Anyone help?

wow! if it was just shaking it could be a missfire in one of the cylinders but since you are stating that it turns off its a possibility it can be the fule pump.

BMW Service could not find the cause of the problem. I have a feeling that it will come expensive ...

check the basics...

fuel system blockage, intake, etc

this.

what fuel are you using?

Express · 03-29-2010, 01:33 PM

as stupid as it sounds, a clogged intake or blocked MAF sensor could be it.

maximal · 03-29-2010, 01:37 PM

I use 98 and 100 octane fuel.

The computer indicates that the problem is 3rd injector (I do not know whether this is the right word in English)
They changed it with brand new and still there is the same error.
Tomorrow they will find the problem

Check the ignition coil and spark plug. That could be causing it too.

I've got the same car and had the same issue last week. It was the MAF sensor. Get a can of MAF sensor cleaner for $10... cheaper than a trip to the dealer. Are you getting a CEL?

Edited to add: sorry didn't notice you said the car was shutting off. Mine didn't do that but it did go into limp mode.

I had this exact same issue. The dealership had to replace a failed fuel injector. While they were in there they replaced all the fuel injectors which my dealership service guy said is normal practice from BMW supposedly because since they are in there it's easy to just replace all once one fails another may too.

That last part seemed odd but that's what they ended up doing plus replaced ignition coil and sparkplug.

(Note: I have the Dinan flash Stage II on my 335i. Not sure if at all related but just sharing.)

My car just did this. It shook really hard back and forth then stopped. The car didn't turn off though.

I lol'd.

It's either air, spark, fuel, or computer. Definitely figure out the symptoms and get searching or prepare to get BFed by the stealership. Good luck!
