Car running rough with some loss of "pep"
Figured I'd toss this up here for any input
14 e63s with Dp and tune
Got a misfire for cyl 5 after it was really running like shiat. Had all plugs changed. Now car feels sluggish and feels like it breaks up up top. I can feel the slightest vibration when giving light throttle under load. No cels.
Thoughts ?

What tune do you have? If it's not a ECU tune, I would try to de tune it and have your dealer check it out and fix the problem stat. Good luck.

From what u are stating this is an issue people have had when tuning these cars when they first came out...i had assumed it was resolved as we have not heard about it in a while.
some had the spark plug melt/ crack and a piece fall into the engine. Again nothing has been mentioned on this topic of a while. Ali had it happen to him on the cls63 form along with a few others
If you find out would appreciate let us know so we can avoid any mishaps

Double check the plugs/
Pull them out one for one and take a look at them.
Make sure they are all the same color / burnt evenly (you can actually smell them as well)
Yea - give them the old sniffy test.
When you replaced them you should have cone one point cooler, this will stop if from melting as well.
I heard the 2015's do require a cooler plug but not sure about the 2014's.
Let us know how it goes,

I switched plugs to a set one heat range colder than stock - when adding a decent amount of power (and tons of torque) to any engine especially a forced induction or nitrous engine spark plug heat range needs to be taken into account.

That said I've been tuned for almost 10k miles with no issues related to the spark plugs, and 6k of that being in the last three weeks on the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour where the car went on the dyno for several pulls (601hp/713tq, 605hp/733tq, 591hp/726tq), was auto crossed for an entire day, ran at two drag strips (in two separate hot and humid cities), and had some high speed testing done along side a supercharged G8 GXP

At the wheels, we did several power pulls along with some 2nd thru 5th pulls to really load the motor up and make sure it was running 100%. Here's a couple of videos from the week on the dyno, the autocross, and spanking a hellcat
