Did you check the fuel pump and fuel filter? It could be that the fuel pump is bad or the fuel filter is clogged.

I don't think your trouble is on the ignition side of it but I am sure that you must have a look at the idle speed control(stepper motor).
If with temperatuer your "misfire"changes to better, it means that it's probably running too lean at cold, normally the stepper motor or ISC does this job.
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers.

I,m not a BMW guy but it sounds like it could be a couple different things, a stuck open fuel injecter, or fuel pump problem, or even a fuel pressure regulator. I had a 97 tahoe and the pressure regulator was defective it caused my engine to hydro lock, which is the same as vapor lock but a fluid cuases the engine to lock , caused by fuel or antifreeze in my case it was fuel.

FUEL RAIL WONT HOLD PRESSURE, SEEMS THE INJECTORS ARE STUCK OPEN AND FUEL DUMPS INTO CYLINDERS

If the injectors are stuck open, the control to them is faulty.
Probably a bad earth wire on the ECU for the engine management.
Unplug the injectors to check they hold pressure. If they, do look for the cause. If they don't, don't waste your money, rebuild the engine.

BMW 318i 2004 injectors are not spraying or opening

Have you checked for voltage to the injectors? If all of them are not working it could be something as simple as a blown fuse or a faulty relay. Try this website as there were some updates done to some 3 Series models around 2007.

Hi there I have 2006 bmw 320i I drove it from home it was okay when I try to start it it refused to start, we jumpstart it and still nothing happening. The engine just swing but it does not dire up.

check the basics first. Fuel pressure - there is a shrader (sp?) valve on the fuel rail on the engine where you can check that. Check if there is spark - pull on of the coils and put in a spark plug and crank. It can also be the ignition switch but check the two things above and then you will know where to look for the problem

Ran out of gas and put more in now car wont start i drive a bmw 3 seies

running out of fuel sucks the dirt off the bottom of the tank it might have caused it to fail i think you can get to it from under the back seat you can see if the pump has power there as well

1.8l bmw 3 series year 2003 petrol not running because of fuel not getting to engine

It could be the fuel pump or the pump relay or fuse. It could be the fuel filter or the gas lines. If they all check out, it may be the fuel injectors. Start with the pump and make sure gas goes to the filter, through the filter, to the injectors. You'll find your problem.

I have just put a new block in 1997 E36 320i bmw.Everything has been put back nicely but the car can't idle. The starting is perfect but when you press the accelerator it produces that poping sound as if...

I will give you a short piece of advice because I am not that familiar with Beemers. I have worked on many vehicle in my life and it sounds like to me that you have one of you plug wires crossed. Again I am only saying this from passed experience and from what you are saying I have seen this before and that was the cxase. Good luck, Also make sure that all the ground wires were attached back to the engine as the electrical systems have to be grounded, Take care, Roger
