Check engine light

I have a check engine light at 41k. Codes say I have a misfire in 1,3,4. I do not live near a dealer so found a mini specialist who says I need to have the valves cleaned. Total job $773. I also found out this is a problem with the minis. Anyone else have this issue?

If you can DIY its here for the valve / intake cleaning.

Also check the HPFP 13517588879 You have the R57 MCS n14 engine so same HPFP.

or the spark plugs / coil also I would also check. Since it multiple miss fires it I would point towards HPFP or carbon. You have low miles for Carbon issues but it does happen. When they scope the intake with a video probe , you will know.

Good luck.

Carbon build up is very common with these vehicles so doing a clean up is a good idea.

Also, possibly attempt to switch your coil packs around. See if the misfires continue or change around as it seems at least one (#2) isn't misfiring. That's a good way to tell if it's bad coil packs, which is common as well.
