Hi all and thank you for your replies....
To answer some of the questions: The car is running the N46 2.0i with the ZF 6HP gearbox. She has covered 83.000miles (134.000km) and whilst there are a lot of service stamps in the book, there are hardly any invoices - so I cant actually confirm if the gearbox fluids and filter have been changed. The battery is a genuine BMW battery but again i don't know how old it is.
So far i have attempted a gearbox reset by holding the pedal down for 30seconds whilst having the ignition accessory 2 position - Nothing changed. I have disconnected the battery for 12 hours and worked my way through the fuses that relate to the issues.
Someone mentioned to me that the initial misfire (that clears) could be the source of all the other issues ??? As opposed to a symptom of the other issues ??
This weekend I will put the car on axle stands and check the gearbox fluid level - If its low i will top up and see if that improves things and i might swap the coils around and see if the misfire changes from cylinder 2 to a new cylinder - And if so i will purchase a new coil pack and see if that helps.
After that i will resort to finding a BMW specialist (easier said than done where i live)
