I took my 2018 x5 in for routine maintenance with no issues and left the service lot with a car that was misfiring and drivetrain malfunction error. After several return trips to BMW service center was told that the problem is bad coils. They didn’t appear bad before my maintenance appt (which...

For the record, I have a 2011 E93 328i with 143k miles. I’ve been plagued with jumping, rough idle, and misfire codes for a while now. The shops all say the same thing: replace coils and spark plugs should solve the problem. After performing this maintenance with OEM parts, I was still plagued...

I've noticed that in the last year or so my mileage has dropped by a few MPG. My 2016 328i 6-speed has 110,000 miles on it and the spark plugs have, to my knowledge, never been replaced. I spoke to one mechanic who said that it's not likely that weakening spark plugs would be a reason for...

I have an 02 e39 (540i). The torque spec for the spark plug from the service manual says:18 ft. lbs But the spark plug (Bosch) says 21 ft.lbs on it for torque. Which one is correct. Until now I was assuming that the torque will depend on the vehicle, but it looks like it depend on the park...

Hello everyone, Car: BMW 328i 2013 Convertible I've been trying to figure out the reason for my car misfires. I've tried a few things however they come back after a couple of weeks or months. Current behavior: Misfiring when accelerating, more noticeable when going uphill. The check engine...

My automatic 2002 325i shakes when idling. Popped the hood and saw the whole engine shaking. Doesn't matter if it's in drive, park, or neutral. Goes away immediately when moving or when I just rev the engine in park or neutral. Turning on the AC tends to make it worse. So far I've replaced all...

I received the dreaded drivetrain malfunction warning the other day. I had noticed some hesitation here and there but didn't think much about it. I pulled over, restarted the car and it went away. A couple of days later it returned and did not go away. I pulled the code and it was P0308. I...
