Could also be bad Injectors/Coil packs/spark plugs no?

SteveAZ · 01-06-2013, 12:47 AM

^yes....my car would start a little rough...attributed it to colder weather and/or E85. Checked plugs after doing a DP swap and finding black soot in one DP. When I pulled the plugs...viola...cyl. 4 was black and wet. Swapped injector and rough starts were gone. However...I don't see that cold of mornings...but it could be worth investigating.

FIRST1 · 01-06-2013, 02:02 AM

I think OP is inferring that BMW makes cars that only suffice for Germany driving conditions, then inferring that it doesn't snow in Germany and that the roads are better than "F1 racetracks in Iraq" or something along those lines. I'm just translating.

My car starts fine in the cold.

Fixed. I should also note that the car was sitting for 6 days before I started it there.

shah269 · 01-06-2013, 02:33 PM

it could have been just a little bit of bad gas? who knows, she started up a little cough cough but then was very well behaved.
At nights before I go home i give her a solid 5 min to warm up before i drive.

shah269 · 01-24-2013, 01:04 PM

guys my car has never done that little sputter again.
in the mid west i hear it's freaking freeeezing!
how are your cars doing? well i hope?

TJ bmw135i · 01-24-2013, 01:19 PM

Sounds like moisture in the gas. It has been -2 for last 3 days in Michigan. Car starts fine. I always add a partial bit of gas line antifreeze to keep the moisture level lower when it gets this cold. I also keep the gas tank above 1/3 at all times in the winter.

shah269 · 01-24-2013, 01:20 PM

That's what I had done wrong, let it get uder 1/3rd. My bad the car now runs great!
After work, the other day when it was...10F...went out turned her on let her warm up for a solid 4-5 min and she was nice and warm and happy! I'm glad to know that I was wrong.

WPG D33Z · 01-24-2013, 03:30 PM

-32, -45 with the windchill today. Car started fine

shah269 · 01-24-2013, 03:46 PM

That Is Awesome To Hear! =)
How long do you let her warm up before you drive off?

WPG D33Z · 01-24-2013, 03:48 PM

I waited about 2 minutes today. I wait until the revs drop on idle.

shah269 · 01-24-2013, 03:52 PM

About the same here, go out turn on the car, come back in the office and clean up my desk and the last of my work and then drive off. 2-5 min.

ejm3 · 01-24-2013, 03:52 PM

Mine is garaged and the past couple mornings its been about 4-5 degrees F and I have had no problems. It take FOREVER to get up to temperature, however.

As a side note, the heated seats are much toastier than in either of our other cars, which is a plus as is the heated steering wheel.

shah269 · 01-24-2013, 03:55 PM

God i wish my car had those!
Ah well! Such is life! But like you my car lives in the garage. But at the office..she is outside and I'm looking for a parking spot in the sun to park her.
