Pending misfire code
 
Wife was driving the 07 X5 3.0 home and the CEL came on and the car started sputtering. Eventually the CEL went off. I checked the code with Torque and it gave a pending p0305, misfire on cylinder 5. Here is the report

MID:$a6 TID:$0b
EWMA Misfire counts (average) for last 10 drive cycles - Misfire Cylinder 5 Data
Max: 65,535Count Min: 0Count
Test result value: 56Count
PASS

Searching all the misfire posts seems to bring up a lot of people chasing fixes. Should I monitor this or throw a new coil pack at it?

Why not say move a coil pack from a different cylinder to cylinder five and see if the problem stays with the cylinder or goes with the pack?

If you do move one, look up the firing order first. Make sure you move it a significant 'distance' away. Like 2 or 3 'places' down the firing order.

If a coil is under $40 Id prolly just buy one. Worst case you have a test/spare.
