  1. BMW 3 Series Forum - Technical Talk on the BMW E46
    Very occasionally on cold start, my 160k mint 330ci misfires. Sometimes it will clear on a switch off/switch on. When cleared, it is smooth for as many miles as can drive and never messes around when warm. DISA ok and Vanos ok. V smooth engine - when not misfiring. Changed No4 coil as I thought...

    So the last month or so I’ve had an intermittent combustion misfire on cylinder 3 (29CF), initial thought was start with the obvious then work from that. Anyway 4 x new NGK spark plugs didn’t solve and over the last week the misfire was starting to get worse, especially when trying to pull out...

    Hi, I have a 1998 328i with broken coil spring. From what I have read, Eibach springs are a good bet and would obviously buy 2 but I dont want to lower the car as it is an original saloon in excellent condition and low miles so want to keep it original. Can I buy springs from them that will...

    Hello all, I have just purchased a 320i cabriolet from a sole trader dealer and within hours it started what I have seen described as doing the Lambada, so much so that my 4 cyl. just stopped. The first thing I read about on the forum was to investigate the coils. I don’t have any testing...

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, it’s highly likely to be, but this is the first petrol engined car I’ve owned in about 20 years. My last was a 1989 1.8 Ford Sierra Sapphire so things have moved on a pace since. Are coil packs a service item? If I’m changing my plugs do I need to...

    So much conflicting information on the internet it's hard to get a straight answer. My question is: Will a coil either work or not work? No inbetween. I don't have any misfires or problems as such, I'm just curious if I was to replace all six coils, would I notice any difference? Would I regain...
