What now!
After a couple of hours of stop and go errand driving in 85 plus degree heat...I pull into the driveway and the normally smooth running m54 engine starts to shake and quiver backfire
Raised the bonnet...No burning smells, couldn't see anything from the OFHG area...no smoke, didn't bother to investigate more.
Had a good 2 months run of no problems I guess.

Yeah...I just PARKED it!
Kinda discussed with the thing for now. I crank it up and drive it around the block every 5 days.
At the start I do remember removing coil pack #3 and there was motor oil at the tip...I may need to do the V cover gasket?
IDK.

Yeah...it was the coil packs #1 and #2 replaced and the M54 is back to being smooth.

Yes let's see how long it lasts
This morning while driving with the roof open and me forgetting that I left the phone on top of the roof. I hit the breaks and the phone slid into the open mouth of the rear roof window.
Had to open the trunk and peel away the black rubber weather trunk strip to retrieve the phone.
Could have been worse.

Just completed a Thanksgiving 885 mile roundtrip run, 20 year old X3 M54 230K B30 no hiccups what so ever... Breaks took a beating in the stop and go traffic every so often. I'll address in the near future.
Curious to check the oil level to note any changes.
Checked the oil...no level change.
However, oil color is much blacker. Last changed oil in August!?
Car purrs now, really needed that run on the hwy I had two weeks ago changed out the belts and coil packs.
