The stock plugs come with the stock gap.
You should check to see if this is an isolated incident in one cylinder or multiple - then switch the coils and see if the fault moves. If it doesn't, then it could be a faulty injector or hardware problem. We recommend NGK plugs over the stock ones, especially on higher power applications. You should contact your tuner.. we haven't had any misfire issues with 90% of the cars we've tuned, even with the stock plugs.

I seem to remember that you had your car tuned by Evolve around the time the misfire started?
Perhaps changing the coil packs will cure it, fingers crossed. However, many tuners will go to a slightly colder plug to avoid misfires after tuning and / or reduce the plug gap. I asked this question of Evolve on your post about the tune and they said their tune did not need this, maybe so but I'd still go back and speak to Evolve about it. Perhaps they could remove the tune and temporarily put it back to stock to rule out the tune as having anything to do with the misfire? I highly rate Evolve tuning and I am contemplating using them myself, I will be very interested to hear what they say and how they deal with this matter. Certainly, as a backstop, there would be no harm in reducing the plug gaps a little and see if that helps if the coil pack change doesn't work? Last edited by Guy M5; 02-06-2018 at 07:26 AM.. |

I had the car down to them when i was home last week. 4th gear pulls on the dyno. car pulled solid a few times, seen the graphs, looked perfect.
Evolve said they where 36 faults in the system some relating to ABS which they cleared so i set off for home hoping it was solved but have recently shown since i have run the car again and the misfire is back. they did suggest flashing the car back to stock which i did do and run it for a day or so and there was no evidence of the misfire soon as i flashed the car back to the stage 2 map misfire is back again. Cars in now getting new set of coil packs and going to try and gap the plugs to 0.022 from the stock .0.34 fingers crossed. not sure why there are numerous codes showing under ABS code |

yes iv'e had cars with stage 3 tuning packages before which run the colder plugs with the gaps decreased. really got me thinking this time about possible fixes. see how we get on today |

The M5 isn't some magical machine that is exempt from common practices...go a step colder with tighter gaps already. This isn't new news on these forums, Google or in ANY car for that matter.

Go as small as you need for the boost you run. Larger gap has better burn as long as you don’t have blow out

From talking to DME, Mission Performance and HCP
A gap from .018 - .022 depending on your tuning seems to be the appropriate range. Always best to consult with your tuner as they are the ones controlling the tune. I agree with a step colder 100% |

Hi no fault codes at all. Im getting new mafs as it hunts on idle and i swapped with a friends car and it stopped.
Fault is misfire under high load above 6000 rpm above 3rd gear. I still think its spark plug related to be honest |
