Also depends when the misfire occurs. Cold start and idle misfires are rarely coil or spark plug related. Typically these are vacuum leak or Lean problems.

Freeze Frame info would tell you under what conditions the misfire occurred.

This is where your own tool would be very helpful.
So Yesterday upon driving to the dealership....car ran like a top until the engine warmed up....about 2 miles down the road.

Right now I am looking to just get the darn thing running properly so that when its at home I can do the rest of the work needed (Vanos and the oil filter housing gasket because they are not covered by my Extended warranty.)

I have ordered the Diagnostic tool and its on its way.

I have not touched the coils on this car ever.
