3-Series Service Engine Light

A fault code of P1345 on a BMW is: "Misfire Cylinder 2 With Fuel Cut-off". This means that the OBD II system has detected a misfire in cylinder 2 and has shut off the number 2 injector to keep from flooding the cats with raw fuel. You now have an inline five engine-just like Audi, GM, and Volvo...

It's either the plug, coil, or the associated wiring and connectors. Swapping a coil and plug out is very simple; here's the procedure.

It's the intake camshaft position sensor-

$80 depending on the shop and your CCA discount. The replacement procedure is not really that difficult, as can be seen here.
