Couldn't reproduce the misfire with the BMW Tech doing a ride-along, but the car stuttered slightly and he was saying it's likely the fuel pump not being able to provide sufficient fuel that the tune is demanding, and not a problem with the injectors...

He's installing the catless DP's for me today and I'll flash Stg2 tomorrow, see if I still throw codes.

Anyone know the specific values the maps change? From what (stock) to what (stage1). The tech said he might be able to better diagnose the issue if he knew what the actual values were. I could datalog for him, but what my car outputs isn't necessarily what the values SHOULD be, so he can't tell what's wrong.

Had the same issue with misfires. I swapped plugs around, and the misfire always followed the coilpack. Replaced a coilpack for 45 bucks from the dealer and the problem was solved. Haven't had an issue since, new or old maps.

Replacing the plugs tomorrow, will look into the coilpack tomorrow when I pick up my car.

Cheers for the info!

np...my issue would go away as soon as I flashed it back to stock....the second I boosted with the Cobb installed, I got an immediate power loss, an SES light and an amazing motorboat sound from the car.

This sounds exactly like my case. I went back to stock yesterday and tried to reproduce the code before going to the BMW service center, couldn't pull it off no matter how much throttle I gave it. Tech said to reflash again and try to throw the code and viola...

Only problem is I can't replace parts under warranty if the flash is on there when the Tech reads the codes. So starting with the cheaper-to-replace parts: spark plugs.

Have you purchased the spark plug socket adapter yet? You'll need that to remove the plugs. How many miles are on your car? Just an fyi, my car only had 18k on it when this happened...I swapped plugs around before I bought any parts and found that it kept following the same coilpack so I'm still running stock plugs. Lemme know how it all goes and what the issue was.

Yeah, I purchased the Bosch plugs and socket from BMS. 52,3xx miles on my 08 auto-trans 135i. I purchased it used a little over a year and a half ago with 38k miles on it and I haven't had the plugs swapped since I got the car.

I should be getting a call in an hour or so about when I can pickup the car, I'll bring up the coilpack with the tech and share the results.

Well, I just now finally got the car back. Tech removed the old spark plugs and even though my Cobb AP was throwing Cyl2 Misfire codes, the plug from Cyl5 was the one coated in gas. He installed the new spark plugs and swapped the coil pack positions. So if I run into misfire troubles again, and Cyl5's plug is dirty, then it's definitely an injector problem and not a coil pack problem.

Anyone else notice a shutter/stutter/shimmy/shake in the car once full boost and you let off the gas a bit?

I'm running stage 1 + FMIC 4.01. Seems odd.

Yeah it shouldn't be like that, I'd Email Cobb directly and see what they come up with.

Can someone tell me what the stage 1 aggressive v4.01 with just a DCI is suppose to run for boost levels? I am showing 15.8 with a taper of 12.5 toward redline. I thought stage 2 would be running those boost levels since the stock turbo is topped out at 18-19 PSI?

Is the AP boost number reading a total of what both turbos are putting out as a whole (like 8+8=16 psi) or as a whole (15 pounds per turbo)

Im confused on these things and would appreciate any insight. I also plan on going with the stage 1 +FMIC soon and then eventually DP stage 2 map. how much more boost over that 15 psi number am I to expect? Thanks all.

15 for Stage 1 and 18 for Stage 2 is about right. I have ran both and that is about what I saw.

ATTENTION - COBB Tuning is experiencing a server outage that is impacting our forums, blog, AccessTUNER software downloads, AccessPORT firmware updates, map conversion utilities and some downloadable documents. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

What version of AP Manager are you using? The servers for APM and firmware updates should be working better now.

Boost levels will vary with atmospheric conditions as these cars target load, not boost (this is the OEM logic). 15 psi at Stage 1 levels would be normal.

Misfires on these cars are very common. Here is a video describing why you only see those codes when tuned (at first) and how to diagnose coilpacks versus plugs.

COBB servers still doesn't work at least I cant update my app also AP manager doesn't work because it goes for updates and then crashes.
Thanks for giving me a bit attention. Just a few questions more.
When I go to Live DATA>Boost it shows 0.00 psi or when I'm accelerating it goes up but never goes below 0.00 I can see few strange lines also on Live data log list these --->

Switched the tune from Stg1 v4.01 Sport ST to Stg1 v4.01 Sport LT and it runs beautifully! v4.01 is buttery smooth!
