Engine Misfiring Problem Solved!

Occasionally, after pushing the engine, the safe mode engine light would come on and I thought it was a fuel pump issue again. After taking it to BMW on a few occasions, they finally replaced the vacuum solenoid and the lines. Acceleration is perfect now...woohoo!

What a day saver. Now you one least thing to worry about.

From what I read, if the engine light comes on when you go wide open throttle, it's likely the solenoids.
