ok perhaps attempt2 simple google:
2B42 Combustion misfire with emissions deterioration cyl 1 if its just 1 cylinder could be spark, if multiple could be ICV (inlet control valve). but ill let the more experienced members confirm/deny. |

2B42 - P0301, Post-33
It looks like P0301 maps to multiple BMW codes. That makes sense because I would expect BMW codes to be more specific than a generic "misfire cylinder 1" P0301 error.

Okay so i moved the coil and also inspected the spark plug. i really dont know what im looking at anyway lol. So i turned the car and and checked for any codes and nothing was present
When i removed the coil it was on there tight and the spark plug also, so there wasent anything loose that i could see. im going to assume the coil is going bad but why would it work in anther port....... anyway im going to change all the plugs and replace that coil. Anyway lets see if anything comes back I should have added that no codes came up on the car itself. i ran the BMWHAT APP with the bluetooth scanner and it found it. was also able to code the car. thing is awesome

drove around all day with no codes or hesitations/misfires. im going to go ahead and change the plugs and that one coil anyway. So we now know that code is either a coil or plug and nothing else.

See this thread http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...=ignition+coil.
Just do the plugs, I wouldn't bother with the coil as it should throw its own specific code - at least that was the case for me when coil #8 went and I used the above thread as reference. |

So all my parts came in and for some reason i decide to check the glove compartment and i find all the service history........
So look what i find.... my code said cyl. 1 misfire because the dealer took it out of 2 and put it in one to see if the problem followed hahahhaah. so it turned out to be a failing coil. All the spark plugs were just replaced. Spark plugs will go for sale lol. can belive the lazy dealer didnt just change that coil.....

Apparently the fault never returned after they replaced the spark plugs and swapped them at the same time. The customer never brought the car back for the warning, and them appears to have sold it. Unless you just don't remember having the issue with your own car, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Ironically this appears to be the same diagnostic path you were going to take here. Speaking of lazy, who isn't familiar with their own service history?
