Oh Sh!t! I've only had it for ten days...
The car is a 2012 E63 5.5 TT with Performance Package. Under full throttle it pulls as normal to the red line, then starts misfiring and the EML comes on.
It first did it last night; I changed the mode from Comfort to Sport+ on the move, then gave it all the beans joining the motorway. I lifted off at once, and found it would run on very small throttle openings, but any more than that and it would misfire. Once home, it idled roughly. I switched it off, then on again, and the EML extinguished.
I thought at first it might be changing the mode on the move that was the cause, but there's nothing in the handbook that I can find warning against doing that.
Started up this morning in Comfort, and left it there; no EML once it had fired up. Started and ran entirely as normal, until I gave it full power in the same situation, still in Comfort mode. It pulled as normal to the red line, then misfired and the EML came on. (I didn't/don't have the balls to keep my foot down and see what happened). This time, the restart is entirely normal, as before, but the EML light now stays on all the time. This time, it appears to be running fine on medium throttle openings without misfiring.
Does anybody have any idea what it's likely to be?
