CEL came on after doing a few Donuts- Facelift

Last night after doing a few donuts the car started idling rough and the CEL came on. I thought these cars are supposed to be a bit more stout than that.

They are, but looks like your engine is one of those that experiences misfiring issues. There are a few others who had this issue once they started to get on it. I think they came all down to faulty ignition coils, but some took quite a while to fix.

Was the engine and transmission thoroughly warmed up? (temps in white, not blue) - the reason I mention it is because it's the only time I've ever had a CEL - when I put my foot in it a bit hard when it was cold -- shut the engine off, re-started and the CEL cleared - no issue since.

Yes they were properly warmed up. I always keep an eye out for that.

Curious, is this related to the E63s' misfire recall that has been throwing CEL since that is also a M177? I believe they changed the injectors as part of the recall?
