Weird Crank at Startup

DC X3M40i · 06-01-2023, 01:02 PM

Had my 23 m40I since October. just noticed over the last few days when starting up (cold start in the morning, and after periods of not driving it for a bit during the day) It used to be a smooth startup, however now it kinda "stutters" during startup. best way i can describe is if you are coughing and you hiccup halfway thru. if that makes any sense. trying to avoid a trip to the dealer, and no codes thrown from the car.

anyone else notice this weird startup behaviour?

Bad Gas? Did you notice this after your last tank full?

My last fillup was probably two weeks agon(haven’t driven much) but that could be a good point. Maybe I will run this tank down and refill and see what happens. I will try to take a video to see if I can catch the audio of it

Did you ever find the issue? Was it gas? Plugs? I have around 22k bought the car at 20k and realized this recently as well
