another misfire.....

triggered another misfire last month, that just came back again this past week so it's only a matter of time before it completely goes.

Little history of my car:
Coil/plug #3 was replaced at 29,000 due to misfire
Coil/plug #1 was replaced at 30,000 due to misfire
I had all 6 coils/plugs replaced at 48,000 due to misfire
^ all done under CPO

Car is currently at 75,000 and coil/plug #6 is acting up.

I guess my question is, do I have any other options other than BMW OEM since they don't seem that reliable? I see bavauto sells a "high performance" set of coils for $265. Has anyone used these? Looking to do the job myself once I have some leads on best parts to buy.

The reason my 6th plug was acting up was because my bad valve cover gasket. Which also ruined my eccentric shaft sensor. Have you looked for yourself and verified there is no oil in there???

Change the one that is bad with a good one, and keep going.
