AskCOBB Episode 2 - BMW Misfire Diagnosis and Repair

So we all know the the BMW N54 motor loves tuning, but we often get questions about misfires and why they happen on tuned cars and not when the car is put back to stock. So to help out the community, episode 2 of our AskCOBB series explains why misfires happen and how to fix it on your BMW. Let us know what you think!

Looking forward to watching this - where I am right now I can't unfortunately.

OT but it would be good if you found some time to get involved in the various COBB related discussions going on here.

Where is episode one?

It's a great video and shot really well. However, how would you address the new find with injector coding and it's relation to misfires?

That was a good video, shows everything very clearly.
Btw when it says cylinder 1 for example, is that the one closest to the front of the car or is it the one closest to the windshield?

Jason is our dedicated R&D Calibrator for the BMW platform, and Rob gets his hands dirty on the tuning keyboard pretty often as well. Ian is one of our great Customer Support guys and he is also a member of the BMW Expert Group supporting the platform.

This video is very good but it misses the situation where an the injectors have gone bad or have been miscoded by an incompetent mechanic at the BMW dealership. There are a lot of engines with miscoded injectors, as it turns out. Here is how to fix this problem:
