Hi Guys,
Looking for some advise and to see if someone might have had a similar issue before.
I have a 2007 120i Motorsport (Manual) not sure of the engine code, but looks like this - :sorry:

Now my problem,
Since Thursday morning when I start the car, it sounds like one cylinder is not firing - like a misfire. It does the same when parked for about 6 hours at the office. When I put my foot on the accelerator, the revs will climb, but you can hear the dup...dup...dup sound from the exhaust as the misfire occurs.
This "misfire" will last roughly 15 seconds and clear right up, as if nothing is wrong. I have NO warnings on the dash, no water leaks, no oil leaks, no smoke from the exhaust, no smell from the exhaust.
I had the Vacuum pump, both airbag seat mats, plugs and some valetronic part replaced last year @ Auric Auto to the tune of + - R17000.
Wednesday last week I had the Radiator replaced @ BMW as a small crack developed on one of the plastic bends (passenger side) of the radiator as I saw a droplet of antifreeze starting to appear (Checked water level when cold and was still full)
I have not had the car scanned yet and I need to make an appointment with BMW to get this done.
Thought I would ask here as any suggestions would really be appreciated.
Regards,
