I have a Foxwell scanner and would love to get a list of values and directory of the tests and where they are located.
I also have a Bentley manual so hopefully the test values are there some where.
I tried to loosen plug 1 to change all the plugs and the torque to loosen it is pretty high.
is this a penetrating oil solution? Plug 5 came out as expected. Do I use anti seize on the new plugs?
Any other thoughts on my misfire?

What plugs are you using? NGK's come with anti-seize already and are the only brand I use for BMW's. But I would definitely use anti-seize if not done from the manufacturer on any plug you do use.
Is cylinder 5 missing the only code you are getting? No more cam sensor errors? I think the only other thing specific to that cylinder besides the plug/coil would be the injector or head gasket. Thoughts Andrew?
Running some Lucas isn't a bad idea even if it doesn't change anything. I throw some in a couple of times a year when I fill up.
