E90 stalling

[CK4LIFE]

Hey guys
So yesterday I pushed my E90 323i(325i wannabe) really HARD; like paddle to the floor as I had forgotten my phone back at spar and thought it might be stolen. All of the sudden the car started stalling, at the stop sign it vibrated heavily to the point the whole car was shaking, like it was cutting petrol or something, begged it to spar and switched off engine. When I got back (got my phone back fortunately), started engine, the car was running normal again. Any ideas what the cause of the heavy vibration was?, as it was the first time I really pushed so hard.

How old are the plugs and coils?

Hi Akash

They were done 2yrs ago

thumb suck prognosis - Not Plug related as no miss, best bet probably fuel related.
So i would check and clean the MAF, also check fuel filter, pumps for any build up.

Just get codes read before spending without knowing what's wrong.

Had this exact issues with my e90 325i on 2 different occasions and both times it was one of the coils. It will only start misfiring once you you really drive it hard if the coil is still working but about to fail.Definitely get the codes read and if one cylinder is misfiring swap the coils around.

+1 to this.

Also, it's possible it's your Vanos Solinoids. Had a similar issue with stalling. These can easily be removed yourself and have read people having good success by just cleaning these.

I am open to correction but just my 2c :rollsmile:
