2002 BMW 325Ci

Had to back out - and back out hard. I was told it had a ton of miles and a #5 misfire. What it actually had:

Wrecked interior
Dead radio
Failed ABS pump
Bent wheels
Had to be manually shifted into first
Burned a quart of oil per tank of gas

I'm a little sore with him for wasting my time - but it is what it is.

Geeez.
Considering oil burn I am not sure that misfire is coming from the coil and spark plug.

I suspect it's either the tired-est cylinder or the fuel injector. Or both.

Probably both if car is in such condition which indicates general neglect.

That's a bummer.
