do a compression check

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

i did a comp check and i did rest the ecu

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

any faults stored... if you have a scanner?
how do you "know" that your getting spark in all 6 cylinders?
which manufacturer coils are installed- there was a recall on the BREMI...
what octane rating fuel was put in the vehicle?
check fuel pressure just to rule it out.. should be 3.5bar +/- 0.2

let me know if you have any other info.

I know most newer cars ECM's, especially german, have a permanent bitch mode if they see certain perameters (temp,rpm,oil press) waaay out of boundary. If you can afford the BMW you can afford the rapage at the dealer :X.

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

i have a scaner and the code was manufacture irnition sytem or misfire and i got spark in 6 cylinder because i pull all the coil out and i did see spark and yes i do have bremi coil but isnt it just for 03- 05 bmw? octance is 93 and if u said newer car got permanent bitch mode if they see rpm oil temp out of boundary then it propley right because the car did red line ..... well thank guysz

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

Why dont you bring it by BMW and get it diagnosed and then just fix it yourself.That cant rape ya that bad to just diagnose the problem i would think.

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

yup that wat imma do thank for ever1 help

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

be weary though... they are gonna charge you an hour just to pull codes and start basic diag.

then just keep doing more tests and charging you money.

you're problem doesn't sound very clear cut, and might need some considerable diag.

my shop charges $110 an hour so be careful and good luck to ya :6

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

you could buy your own diagnostics test machine and clear your codes. its probably messing with the afr because it sensed it was missing. or you could just take it to advanced auto, orileys, auto zone. they will do it for free :y

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

it sounds like your rev limiter might be trying to kick back in.

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

maybe some kind of limp mode?

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

i can clear the code and it still come back i know for sure it cylinder 2 is misfiring and it doing that because the damn injector turn on and sometime it doesnt turn on and i did swap injector around but i dont know y it would do that cuzz i use a test light and it does have power do could it be the comp ---- up some how ..... ? im so stress !

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

sounds like your in for some ankle grabbing at the dealer man...

it is certainly possible that your #2 injector is intermittenly inop. this could be due to numerous things though which is the problem. it could be related to a bad injector harness (i've personally seen many under warranty), also the DME may be the issue because it grounds out the injectors internally using transistors.

its a tough call, i'd have to see the car myself to start diagnosing it. if you happen to be in the massachusetts area or new jersey (where i currently reside for training) give me a shout and i'll see what i can do. always willling to help a fellow HMT'r. :6

Dude, I'm know I'm new here but the reason I'm here is b/c I want to Turbo my M3. I saw your post and I'll bet you almost anything your friend is suffering from what all other BMW enthusiasts KNOW as "The MONEY Shift." I would bet that you will find the valves bent in the second cylinder and need to have the head rebuilt. Was there ANY difference b/w the compression of Cylindar 2 and the rest? Get ready to bend over. I've almost done this myself racing on the freeway. It totally SUX. It's one of the few weakpoints in what is generally a very good German design. Go to Bimmerforums.com or the BMW section of Roadfly.com and do some searching there for the "Money Shift" You'll find solutions and tests as well as a lot of sad stories from guys who have done the same thing. I personally feel that BMW should have an RPM dependent gate on their transmissions. Of course it needs to be modifieable for those that drive on the edge. Another way to look at it is: If your friend has the money, this is a perfect excuse to do some internal mods while they're in there. The Schrick cams and updated valve springs etc. can squeeze out a couple more ponies. Good luck to you and your friend.

haha good luck with the dealer fixing your ----, my buddys 97 M3 had a hair line crack in his old head at the top of the combustion chamber, 5500 when it was all done, 3000 for the new head, and 2500 for labor, must have been so much in labor taking so long to remove all that goddam plastic that edm cars love to sport :P

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

i laugh everytime i hear of some idiot ricer hitting 2nd instead of 4th. seriously you really have to monkey the ---- out of the shifter to get it to go 2nd from 3rd

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

i live in the worcester area, but i'm only around on the weekends due to my current stay in the shithole of america: elmwood park, nj for training during the week. if you still need help with your bimmer give me a shout with a pm and we'll see if we can get together or somethin :6

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

Sounds like a vacume leak to me. The E36 body BMWs had a plastic intake that would crack. A crack in the runner would make that cylinder run lean and miss. You should have a check engine light and a miss fire code.

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
 

seriously. i think the only times i've ever hit the wrong gear, i wasn't racing and i was tired/lazy/zoning out and wasn't paying attention to what i was doing. i know i've done 4 to 3 a couple times, or 2 - 5.. all at under 4K

Re: ANYONE IN HERE KNOW ABOUT BMW ....PLEASE HELP
