Took my 535 in today for misfire on cylinder 3 that I could not resolve with a new coil or plug. Got word the injector is definitely bad but they are also looking into replacing the cylider head.

The question I have is if I put the car in Map 0 now and pull out the JB4 and take it to the dealer will they see only the misfire code or would there be any other codes that indicate a tune? I want them to investigate the misfire, I havent gotten my plugs changed yet under the service plan! (Only 23000 miles (37000kms) on the car)
Did you get this resolved? I don't see any responses and I'm curious to know what happened?
Thanks.

Had the car in last week for a misfire on cyl 3. they replaced all 6 spark plugs and put a new injector put in cyl 3. driving today and low and behold, misfire cyl 3. swapped coilpacks to see if the misfire would follow, still cyl 3.

any clue what else it could be? I'd be shocked if it was carbon buildup, as I only have 35k on my 335 and have been running meth for almost 15k of that.. the only code being thrown is 29CF. no HPFP/LPFP related codes so I'm not sure where to go from here... I'll bring the car in next week but any advice would be helpful in the meantime!

thanks

heys guys, getting somewhat consistent misfire/limp mode while wot 3rd-4th gear 3k rpms
plugs were changed 6k miles ago along with injectors and hpfp. I have 63k miles without a carbon cleaning, would that be the culprit? anyways i will post some codes when im back in town tomorrow.

Misfire on Cyliner 5 ONLY with tune in the car, no code when tune is out. I have JB3(pulling it again today to do JB4 upgrade.) I am confused why the misfire only on hard pulls, with software, but I can go hard with no tune and not throw a code. What gives?!?

I thought we had figured it out until yesterday. Driving to my parents house from my apartment I got severe hesitation on acceleration which eventually triggered a misfire fault. Not sure what cylinder; will be testing today to recreate

Back in April I was having misfire issues on #6. BMW replaced all the plugs and injectors (I had already replaced the coilpack on #6). The problem went away for a short time. In the last few weeks I started getting some odd behavior. I brought it back in and was told there was still an issue with #6. End result, they are replacing the cylinder head. I should hopefully be getting my car tomorrow. Maybe after this fix it'll stay out of the shop for a few months

Are you stock or running a tune?

I ran a tune after the plugs/injectors were replaced. BMW is sure the issue links back to work that was done on #6 prior to me owning the vehicle.

2007 bmw 335i  [0.00]
hey guys i need your help. yesterday while driving for about a 30 min i felt like my car was vibrating badly when i accelerated, so when i got the car to a stop, my idle was on about 800 to 900, usually its 700. anyway the next day i checked with gt1 and it gave me cylinder 5, so when i took out the coil from cylinder 5 there was oil on it so i took out the plug and there was oil too. so i cleaned both of them with carb cleaner and petrol, and put them back and still got the same misfire and the car is rough idling so i decided to swap coil #5 with coil #1 and i still got cylinder 5 misfire, so i swapped the plugs, and still it was showing cylinder 5. so after i gave up i went out to take the car for a drive and i realized a loss in power for sure and the car only vibrates with mild acceleration but when i go WOT the vibration goes away but then again i feel a loss in power. im guessing it could be the injector but then again where did the oil come from?? plzz help

correct me if im wrong. from my experience is that after cleaning the oil from the spark plug the car should work fine for a while, but nothing changed after cleaning it and swapping it .

and btw ive done service to my car 3 weeks ago, i changed all 6 spark plugs, valve cover, air filter, ac filter, injector cyl1 (new upgraded one), and oil. My car never had any issues before servicing.

thanks

i only have 40k miles 2007

My guess is yeah it could be a faulty injector, also if the car hasn't been carbon cleaned on the intake valves, this could also give you some misfires.

I had a question about my misfires,

I was misfiring on cyl 1 and 3, and I recently had all my plugs, and injectors replaced as well as a carbon cleaning of my intake valves, so I figured it had to be coil related. The car only has 30k miles on it. So I swapped coil 1 with 2 and 3 with 4, and I thought the misfire would jump to cylinders 2 and 4, but it completely disappeared . I don't get it, is this a possibility of bad coils?

I just finished installing rev3 this past thursday and yesterday prior to work i threw the SES. it was misfire on cyclinders 2 & 3. So far i changed my plugs and the car is going good. My misfire was on start up, because with the code she as still running strong, it wasn't thrown while driving.

So praying it was just my plugs, car has 38k the tune in place for like 1k and the plugs looked like they were in need of a change.

Had misfires on cylinders 5 and 6. Already had brand new plugs, then changed the coil packs. Brought it to my mechanic and he couldn't figure it out, wasn't an injector. Took it to BMW and it was due to excessive carbon buildup. Took 4 weeks to get walnut shells up to Alaska lol. I finally get the car back today. Will update with how she runs.

Mods are JB4, AFE dual intake, Meth, catless downpipes and exhaust, ETS 5" FMIC. I had a new SA and he said "you need new downpipes, that's going to be $3,300 to fix" lmao. I said my downpipes are fine and if they were bad, it's protected under warranty... I miss my old SA..

So i had replaced my plugs from my previous post, car was running strong and then today again on a cold start up it throws the CEL. Went to a buddies house and samething misfire cyclinder 2&3. So we swapped the coils so if it were to throw the code again with different cyclinders i know its my coils. Figured i'd do this so my SA doesn't give me a run around.
