P1347 BMW Code - Misfire Cylinder 3 With Fuel Cut-off
Quick Answer

Common causes include Faulty Spark Plug, Faulty Ignition Coil, Intake vacuum leak. Severity is High - diagnose this code as soon as possible. Driving is not recommended if the warning light is flashing, the engine runs poorly, or safety-related symptoms are present.

Code P1347 BMW Description
The misfire/engine roughness calculation is derived from the differences in the period duration (T) of individual increment gear segments. Each segment period consists of an angular range of 120° crank angle that starts 78° before Top Dead Center (TDC).
If the expected period duration is greater than the permissible value a misfire fault for the particular cylinder is stored in the fault memory of the ECM. Depending on the level of misfire rate measured the control unit will illuminate the "Service Engine Soon" light, may cutoff fuel to the particular cylinder and may switch lambda operation to open-loop. All misfire faults are weighted to determine if the misfire is emissions relevant or catalyst damaging.

I had a problem with code: P1347, I changed all the spark plugs and my car was still running rough. I ran the diagnosis again and I was still coming up with the same code. I started searching on the web, and found P1347 refers to cylinder 3, so I changed the ignition coil (only that one) and the car runs great now.
PS cylinder 3 is located on the passenger side, second from the rear going towards the headlights. Hope this helps.....
I have a 2004 745Li
