Reduced engine power + abnormal engine noise
Mini was warmed up and driving normally for 5 mins.

Stepped on gas, 50% reduced power, engine sounds terrible!

Yellow check engine light.

HELP!

Not yet. Swap coils around first and see if the problem follows to the new cylinder or stays on cylinder #1.

Yea it was cylinder 1 coil. Bought Duralast ignition coil pack and replaced.

Worked! Code went away immediately, engine was running fine like normal

$80 part, 5 mins, back to normal :D
