Ok, so yesterday my girlfriend is driving the 330ci and i get a call at work frantic the the car just sputtered, to a stop and died, so I go home get the truck and car trailer, start to head out to get her.
Half way there she calls and tells me it started and it's getting better still sputtering but, driving better. By the time she got home it was running fine, no problems so I dropped the truck off at the house and away we went to her house. ( my dogs where there and needed to be fed so) I wake up this morning at 4 to get ready for work (oh we took two different cars the 330ci and my other 325xi) walk out to the 325 and nothing lights, radio, headlights all work, just no starter CRAP check battery good, check fuses good, call work not coming in to day, check. Yell and scream bad words check. So go back to sleep get up at 10 or so decide that it's my starter pull starter hook to battery nothing. Good day only to get
Better manage to get the 330 out from in front of the 325 and going to local BMW dealer for new starter, back on side of
Road now still no idea how or why but, we stuttered to a stop
Obd II says misfire on number one cylinder car starts then stumbles to a stop can't go the longer it sits the better the start weird huh. BMW flu ???
