Coil misfires / drivetrain malfunction after Oil Change

[kevoncox]

Hey guys I have a 2014 x5 50i with 66k. Car ran fine with zero issues prior to yesterday. I was unhappy with my local dealer so I decided to take it to a European Service shop around my way. I had them change the oil, break fluid and reset a brake senor that the dealer failed to. Immediately after picking it up, I felt my car was a bit bouncy but dismissed it. I made it to work and upon leaving work the rocking continues. A block from my job, a get a drivetrain malfuntion error. I take it to a other bmw dealer who says I need to replace all 8 coils. Having all 8 fail after driving fine seems odd to me. The BMW dealer I purchased it from replaced spark plugs in June. Can the be related to anything oil/filter related? Is it uncommon for all these could to go bad over a 6 hour period. Car drove like butter to the Euro service center.

You should be getting your injectors replaced for free under the factory extension for that item.

Nope Different things

• Injectors are the things that squirt the fuel in.
• Ignition Coils are the things that provide Electricity to the spark plugs.
• Spark plugs are the things that make the fuel and oxygen go Boom, in affect turning money into noise.
