Help! Engine Malfunction!
 
Got in my '13 e70 35ix 3.0 N55 and out of nowhere I get a "engine malfunction reduced power" warning and she starts misfiring! Lucky I wasn't too far from home... 88k well maintained ride. Oil change due in about 2600 miles...
Strangely enough she says "all systems ok" when I turn her on but not start her...
WHAT??!! THE FU**??!!! is that about?????!!!!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0b429dce13.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8614a0eefe.jpg

Got that all the time until we pulled the codes, found VANOS faults and changed both VANOS solenoids.
Suggest you pull the codes with a BMW specific scanner and report back.

*UPDATE*
Cylinder 5 misfire.
Replaced plug and coil.
Perfect.
Immediately upon leaving my indie I put a heavy load on her on and off for 10[+] miles driving home. Still Perfect.
In 2k when nxt. Oil change is due, all the rest get changed...

Good plan. 88k is right in line when plugs/coils will be failing. Good that it was something normal and relatively simple.
