Fast acceleration then check engine light
Hi I'm new here and this is what happened today on a drive.
I own a BMW 5 series e60 523i automatic. So the car has
had no problems so fa and this happened out of nowhere. I
was at a red light and when the green light came on I
accelerated very quickly reachig about 5000 rpm or so and
then suddenly my check engine light came on and car
started shaking and jerking. I stoped as soon as I could and
turned it off. Then I turned it on again and the light
dissappeared and the car stopped shaking and everything
was ok again... went to google stuff and every forum talks
about misfires. It has never happened before and the car
still drives normally now. Should I take it to a mechanic?
Yesterday I had service and got my car checked, my oil
changed and they said there were no problems with it. Is
this serious? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks
