Improper fuel pressure or a bad ground and cause your symptoms do you have a scanner that will show real-time fuel pressure?

Did you say you were suggested to change injectors?

On n62 I think you can get away with just changing one unlike n63 n55 also maybe no crazy special tool to change so you may be able to just swap to a different cylinder

On my wife's old e53, we chased similar random misfire and after 2-3 treatments with Lucas fuel treatment the problem finally went away (was clogged injector).
I don't think I am able to measure the fuel pressure with the CARLY scanner which is a bummer. I was suggested both the fuel cleaner and new injectors, I should probably run another treatment of the fuel cleaner before I do the injectors. I'm hoping the injectors are just clogged like yours was, this car sat on a lot for a few years before I purchased it and I don't think it has really had any fuel cleaners added ever.
