So i just picked up my 2016 S3 last week with 70k miles, i was told by previous owner that it needed a fuel filter. So far, i have had 3 misfires when starting the car. One was a cold start, the others were after i had been driving and started the car again after a couple minutes. Anyone had this issue? I'm not sure if i need spark plugs or have carbon buildup or if it actually needs a fuel filter. After the misfires when the car eventually starts, it runs fine and idles fine.

Regarding a similar problem I just posted this a moment ago in another thread:
Having my local dealer do this procedure (carbon cleaning) along with new coil packs and spark plugs after 45K miles due to a check engine light that's throwing misfire codes. Cost will be around +/- $2.5K.

Replace the fuel filter first of all. Not a huge cost. I'm even surprised you didn't do it already.
