What is the cylinder firing order for a 2911 BMW X6 50i 4.4L V8 twin turbo? I thought the order was:
Front left- 1, 2, 3, 4 front being closer to radiator and back being towards firewall. Right side front to back - 5, 6, 7, 8. I have a cylinder 3 misfire and I want to ensure I change the correct ignition coil. I can’t get anyone from bmw service to call me back and answer my question. And google shows several different cylinder firing variations
Stand in front of the car, facing it. Bank 1 is on the left side, Bank 2 is on the right side. 1 and 5 are closest to you, 4 and 8 are towards the firewall
Swap it from cyl 3 to cyl 2 or 1. Clear the code and restart the car. If it comes back as cyl 3 you need to look at spark plugs or fueling (depending on other CELs, can determine what it is, or with ISTA). If the code follows the coil to wherever you moved it, replace the coil
