I've had the dakar yellow 2001 Z3 now since May 2023, after doing the sills, parasitc drain and dash lights have finally been using it. Drives like a dream 99% of the time. Strong, steady beat from the 2.2 in most situations. Doesn't like slow moving heavy traffic, gets a misfire every now and again and throws a fault light. Doesn't cough and die just gets a bit rough until.out on the road again and driving. Normal performance resumes. I've cleared the faults twice now and they only come back as soft faults. I've took a pic this time. Crank and cam position sensors were changed 2019. It runs on E5. Pic attached. Any thoughts on a common cause? Only ever in heavy slow traffic, stop and go stuff. The only non standard part it has is a K.and N filter. The latest faults have cleared down again and not came back as I've not been stuck in traffic. 99,000 miles full service history car...im puzzled.....

I thought that initially but it's on all bar 4. Previous codes have had various combinations of cylinders sometimes 2 or more..so I thought that's out.
