Six months and 1 day of ownership - check engine light this morning.
I pulled codes using Carly and it returns a run of misfiring on cylinder 6 and this morning misfiring on multiple cylinders. 4037 miles on the clock.
Crap. |

I would clear the codes and see if it pops up again. If it goes take it to the dealer.
Please let us know the resolution if you go to the dealer. |

I'm just going to take it to the dealer this morning. Too new of a car to mess around.

Good luck! Let's hope it's something small or easily addressed.

Even if it's just "clear the codes and go", I'd like the codes and the visit recorded in case more problems pop up.

Make sure you check the charge-cooler's coolant level as these seem to be prone to internal leaks which could give you a misfire. Let us know what they find!

This is a common problem with M cars and cold temperatures. |

One way to get a reminder that our beloved 2's are really, really small. Get a 5-series loaner.

I drove the 530 8 miles down a busy road, so I didn't get to really test it much. A couple of thoughts while I wait for a work thing to do it's thing:
1. Huge! 2. Very comfy ride but not as disconnected as the F10 5's I've had as loaners in the past 3. Turn-in is very slow. I felt like I was waiting for the above-mentioned cruise ship to turn. I don't know how much of this is due to me being used to my M2. 4. It's sorta low-spec for a 5. It only has Hifi Sound...and it's better than any of the stock systems I've had in 3's and my M2. It doesn't sound like it's all coming from my left knee at all. 5. I like the gauges. Quite pretty. 6. It's really slow. |

We had some crazy cold days about a month ago and that’s when I had the same problem. The dealer told me extremely cold temperatures and not driving the car on a daily basis contributed to the misfires. They replaced the spark plug and the coil on cylinder 1 and that was it. Problem solved.
