Check Engine Light came on... any thoughts? Update P0300 Misfire
 
Hello everyone...

I was driving yesterday night on the highway and it was raining, everything was normal, as i went to press the gas to accelerate past someone, i felt the X stumble and it wouldnt go.. check engine light pops on and i got scared and slowly just got off the highway.

I pulled into a street shut off the car for 5 min and restarted it.
Light went off and seemed fine, but to be safe i just drove it home.

This morning i was ready to leave, started it and again and the X started shaking... Im not sure of what is wrong with it.

Its an 06' with 49000km... have not had one single hiccup till now.

Any thoughts? Is there a way to check what code # ?

I'm having the exact same issue on mine. Mine shakes only when on an idle mode. Go to Autozone, O'Reilly, etc to get your codes read for free.

+1 Go to AutoZone and get codes pulled.

Sounds all-too-similar like a faulty Camshaft Position Sensor.

+1 for the cam sensor - I had the same problem last year

Still under warranty, head to the dealer.

Thanks guys! I got a friend with a reader, i was going to go get it and see what code it is and Ill follow up with everyone!

Now.... is this drivable to go to the dealer??? Or should I call BMW to send me a tow truck and have it sent there?

Again, thanks... :)

If you're dealership is in-town, you should be fine.
