    getting a problem with my e60, start it up idles ok but then when i start driving it at low revs there is alot of hesitation and check engine light will come on.
    scanned for code and get the following (pic attached).
    could this be bad spark plugs? or something more serious as injectors and coil packs?
    when engine light comes on car runs smoother but not much power as i think its going into limp home mode.
    problem is more evident when cold. i was also reading up that it could be injector leaking while its sitting up and this is causing bad misfire

    any help appreciated

    Best way to diagnose would be swap the plug with either a new one or with one of the others to see if fault clears. Other option would be swap coil pack with another and see if the fault moves to that.

    Yeah I've just ordered up a set of new plugs and I'll try those first, if that doesn't help I'll test coil packs and so on
