recurring misfire and limp mode
i bought a brand new M5 comp back in march this year. a few weeks later, it went into limp mode and had a misfire. the car had its running in service and has been very looked after. its been in and out of BMW since (5 times so far) and the issue it still ongoing. the car is still throwing out the same fault codes and engine warning light and all they can say is they dont know what the issue is. they have changed fuel injectors twice.
they are now saying it could be the trakcer but everything i have read and researched say a tracker is impossible to make a car misfire and run like sh*t. ive not made any modifications to the car at all. has anyone else has a similar issue? do i just tell BMW to take the car back? any advise would be really appreciated! |

Aaa very good point! I’ll get them tomorrow and post it. All I know is bmw have told me they don’t know what the error code means so they don’t know how to fix it 🤦🏻‍♂️

What are your plans for the car? Is it a lease or financed with plans to keep. If the latter definitely turn it back to BMW.

my first guess would be coils/spark plugs, a few members on the forums had similar codes and it ended up being the coils

Thanks jivom5 . They told me today theyre changing the fuel injections, coils and wiring loom. Ive told them to keep the car and give my money back. Unfortunately I’ve lost my love for it now which is a shame as it was always my dream car 😐

Wish you all the best on your next purchase, my f90 had issues from day 1 and the dealer refused to investigate so I took matters into my own hands replacing many of the parts at home. Happy to report that after 22,000 miles of being stage 1 e30 there no more issues.

Just my $0.02 (even though you didn’t ask for it) from someone in their second F90. EDIT — In the interest of full disclosure, I did have an HPFP failure early on in my first one, but it was resolved as quickly as it could have been and didn’t prevent from essentially buying a carbon copy as my second one. Aside from that both cars have been bulletproof (~29k on pre-LCI and ~12k on LCI). DDed and driven hard every single drive.

you have an electrical issue, you did mention a tracker it could very well be a botched install from whoever put in the aftermarket tracker and who knows where they tried to tap for power. you have a short circuit which literally means shit is touching shit its not supposed to in your fuse box.
