Hi All

Anyone can recommend a good BMW dealer in the UK who knows about the M5/M6 engines?

Posting on here as this sections looks a bit more active.

I just bought an M6 from BMW dealer and the car is misfiring and throwing a error message on the idrive.

I don't have a code reader yet and wanted to know what could cause the issue? Do these engine suffer from similar issues like the 335i? (i.e injectors, coilpacks, hpfp, carbon built up?)

I checked the warranty report for my car and it had brand new injectors and spark plugs fitted last year.

The car misfires and there is a strong smell of fuel. Revs are not stable.

Any ideas much appreciated guys.

May assist if you state which M6 you have...ok assuming you have the twin turbo or am I wrong ?

If it's under BMW warranty why not just throw he problems back at them and they have the responsibility to sort....

Certainly no common issues like the 335i. I assume it's the f series your referring to as you commented on the other m6 posts quite a bit.

As turboman said hand it back to the dealer and tell them to rectify asap

If it’s the TT engine I suspect it’ll be the high pressure fuel pumps

Thanks for the replies.

Yes, it is the F06, turbo V8 engine.

Car is already back at the dealership. I just want to make sure they change the correct parts!

One injector going to be replaced.

I would have though it would be the coilpack as injectors were replaced last year.

Anyway....we'll see if that resolves the issue.
