All of those listed should work, their lifespans will vary though. But yes I would also recommend only using the 4294 which I mentioned is the OE replacement.

I hear you. My X5 is just a work beater anyway. I am strongly considering just getting a Honda CR-V.

Let us know how the correct plugs go for you.

Oh I don't think coils are your main issue. At 103k miles, they are definitely due though.

Also, worth mentioning. Again, not your main issue, but what plugs did you use? BMW's hate those...

How many miles on this vehicle? It doesn't appear you've done coils yet. That's another thing that will make you chase your tail troubleshooting. You can swap coils all day long and watch the same...

Troubleshooting is always good to help narrow a problem and avoid spending unnecessary money on parts. But this N52 is not rocket surgery. It's been around for over a decade. And they are very well...

What year is your E70? It sounds like you went from base seats to comfort seats. I just did the same with my driver seat last night on a 2007. None of my functions work at all, but the seat does...

It's just a simple matter of economics on BMW's part. It's either cheaper to outfit a spare, outfit with RFT, or outfit with a flat repair kit. Cheapest option wins.

If I buy a car with runcraps on it, it's the first thing I'll negotiate. They either replace the tires with something non runcrap, or knock off enough cash for me to go purchase new tires.

Rough idle when cold, with no codes, sounds pretty reminiscent of eccentric shaft actuator or sensor on the N52's. Not sure about it on the N55 though.
