Hey guys I have not written in some time now butI?m going to try to do so more often though?
Anyway, here is my problem after keeping my 545i in the garage for 3 days it jerked very badly and gave me an engine error message when i turned it on.
I took the car to the dealership and they said that two pistons misfired. When I asked why it happened I was told that it has been happening lately down here in Texas b/c we are getting bad gas.
I don?t know whether to believe this or not. What do you guys think about the diagnosis?

Well the reason it worries me is because at times even after driving and most often at stops i feel a rumble and jerky sensation caused by the engine. I think it may be an issue but I dont know if it warrants further investigation.
Once playing with a diagnostic tool in my friends garage hooked to my older 5 (e39), I accidentally reset all "adaptations". The engine run very rough for a couple of days and then slowly adjusted back and found its new adaptation points. I would say to give it a few days - I would try a fuel system cleaner too before taking it back to the dealer.
Regards,

As you know, the car computer constantly optimizes the gas / air ratio based on many inputs including the driving style. I believe if you keep driving the car, after few complete driving cycles, the car computer adjust back and finds its optimal performance points.

I am not sure what brand is the best if you just buying it off the shelf - I would probably buy the most expensive from Walmart :^)
