I can only think mis-firing cylinders...but that's way too random.

I shifted at 3000 rpm...that's nothing and I have no clue why it happened.

Esploding vanos...das no good, man.

28k miles...strange...I would venture to guess it's a CPS of some sort...It doesn't even let you drive in Limp Mode? Have you inspected the air filter and MAF? what about a cracked intake boot?

I can drive it....but it was shuttering and fuel was cutting off hard core...

Intake boot is hard plastic. I didn't touch anything else im under full warranty and its not my problem....it s not like im running rich or lean...its worse than that

Even on a flat bed, your car is sexy. Bummer about the problem. But you still have that warranty. No cost repairs are the shizzz.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

It will get fixed, so no worries.

I have full warranty until 2013.

Free Service Ended July 31st.

Heading to BMW soon here to see what's up. Only 1 service guy in today and it's impossible to reach him by phone.

I think it's 4yr/50k. BMW should up it to at least 6yr/75k at least, imo. :(

Correct. 4 years/50,000 miles.

[johnrando]

Curious to hear what it was and how the repair went.

[M0nk3y]

Ignition Coil in cylinder #3. Caused Spark Failure in Cylinder #1 and #2.

$50 Charge with the CPO Program, ready to pick-up

[Hornung418]

So new coil and six new plugs? Or all new coils and plugs?

Glad it's nothing serious, Kyle.

Just the coil was replaced
