I need a passenger fender for my 2001 X5. It would be awesome if it is Oxford Green!

So I dropped off the X5 at the dealership yesterday. I heard back this morning and they claim the misfires are from bad timing case gaskets. Can these gaskets cause misfires? I would think if these...

It tested the 3rd and 4th coil pack. The 4th stayed a steady 1.1 ohms but the 3rd continued to bounce between 1.0 and 1.6. Is this normal? Does this mean this coil pack is failing?

Ah, I did not realize that the wacky remote terminal routing is so common. Why would BMW route the wire like this? It makes absolutely no sense. Also, I HATE the hose clamps that BMW used for the oil...
