SOLVED - Help. My X is running very rough after valve cover gasket replacement

Worse case you have to redo the job.. You may damage the gaskets when you was installing them .
With my experience on my friend 745li on of the fuel injector fot bad .

If you are certain it's NOT the coils, check the plugs again, then be sure the wires going to the coils are intact and not broken or heat damaged.

It's odd that it improved with the swap, albeit good. One may have not been seated right at least, but since you still have two cylinders misfiring, track it backwards. Perhaps you can score a couple coils from an auto recycler just to be sure its not a coupe bad coils.

Your coils are seating properly, the way you described it is exactly as they are intended to seat.

Just wanted to report back that I got it fixed. It turns out that when I put the wiring box with the fuel injector connectors back on, I didn't get it on all the way. I thought it clicked in and when I looked at it later, I would have sworn those connectors were all the way on there, but they weren't. I'll edit the title to reflect that the problem is solved and thanks for the help.
