One other thing to check would be the injector for the cylinder. Swap it with a known good one and see if the misfire follows the potentially bad injector.

Lastly, if you haven’t found the problem, you may want to do a leak down test of that cylinder to check it’s overall health.
I just had a vacuum leak on my 325xi and it will exhibit the symptoms described by the OP. But searching for a problem with a single cylinder injector or coil pack is a waste of time when you have 7 cylinders misfiring. You don't get all injectors failing at once unless you have VERY bad fuel, nor do all coil packs fail at once. Unmetered air leak is a great place to look though.
