Engine Malfunction (Misfiring)

Is anyone else having a habitual Engine Malfunction (Reduced Power) problem? Every week its something new. The engine keeps misfiring! They've changed all the injectors, an ignition coil, and now they're changing a fuel pump... They tell me at the shop that this happens a lot.... Is there a fix or a solution. This is my dream car and it's becoming a nightmare...

when you say shop, is this a BMW dealer?

A good shop will have access to diagnostic tools, at least GT1 maybe Autologic. No questions dealer have these, even independent BMW shop which specializing to work only on BMW cars have the tools. Without tools, it's a guessing games on fixing BMW cars.

High pressure fuel pump is the problem. They should be able to fix it. Otherwise, bring it here to Chicago and Patrick BMW will take care of you
