Thanks!
Last night I swapped the cylinder 8 ignition coil with a good used Bremi coil. Apparently the malfunctioning coil wasn't an eBay one, it was a newer Genuine BMW one, but a "Pulse" brand that was made in China. This one had a production date of 2013 and it was already acting up, how sad. Meanwhile the replacement Bremi coil I had laying around is from 2001 and is still working perfectly. I haven't had any misfires after that, so hopefully that means the problem is solved.
Also, I started thinking about how to make the exhaust a little louder. I know in the E38/E39 community the easiest and most common method is to just chop off the last muffler while keeping the resonator intact, that way you get the extra noise but without any drone. Would that work for the X5 4.6?
