Ignore the first 2 they aren't real faults.

You need to get the misfires sorted, they are likely to be injectors or spark plugs, change the plugs & get all 4 injectors off & get them cleaned & tested, Google will help you find someone local to help.

Check all tyre pressures, reset the Tyre pressure monitor (the manual will tell you how) make sure it is reactivated, job done.

thanks for the reply mate from what i have been reading online it could also be coil packs playing up on these would you recommend that i change the coils with the plugs before i go onto the injectors? or the codes showing could be sparks? thank you mate really appreciated

[E-bmw]

I was just about to add coils to that while thinking some more, try clearing the codes, swapping the coils to those NOT misfiring & trying again.

If the codes move cylinders you need 2 coils.

Alternatively Bosch coil packs £19 at eurocarparts.

2 x coils 4 x plugs £60 done..... Hopefully.

thank you pal very much appreciated will be on it first thing in the morning! if turns out be injectors could it be a case of cleaning them etc or getting a new set?

[E-bmw]

Google is your friend, have a look around local to you for "fuel injector cleaning" you will find someone who will test them, ultrasonically clean them, replace the O-rings & printle caps and retest them complete with a full written report for around £15/20 per injector.

The last set I had done even took digital pics of the spray pattern before & after.
