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.

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. :(

So new coil and six new plugs? Or all new coils and plugs?
Glad it's nothing serious, Kyle.

I miss understood via phone. They swapped the ignition coils and spark plugs ti cylinder #2 and #1 to see what the problem was...it was the coil.
Just the coil was replaced
