99 ///M3 n00b Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Florida Car: 99 M3 conv. Cosmos Posts: 3 Photos:	rough running I am having a problem that comes and goes, usually when i am doing some spirited driving. Car will be running great, then it feels and sounds like it is running on 3-4 cylinders and the check engine light comes on. After a few minutes it starts to run fine again. Car is a 99 M3 auto. Any ideas? __________________ Diana cold air intake, stage 2 software, cat back. ///M3
