Off idle misfire
I have a 2000 M6 and ever since I picked it up back in Feb I have an issue with a off idle stumble or missfire. It backifires and spits and sputters not every time but offten enough. I've replaced the plugs, plug wires and fuel filter and cleaned the air filter and TB. I'm wonering about injectors and fuel pressure now. The car has 80k on it. Any ideas?

Similar thing happened to me. I had a small barely visible crack in one of my spark plugs causing the stumble/misfire. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

Have you cleaned the maf ? Just because parts are new doesn't mean they are necessarily good. If you had it before and it followed still, chances are slim it's plugs or wires. I've personally only had one car with a bad injector in 20 years of wrenching, and it was very noticable, not like a misfire. Logging with all cylinders for misfire and the rest of your data may shed some light. Recording data is a godsend in diagnosing odd issues.
