2010 X5 4.8 ignition coil replacement
 
My newly purchased vehicle 50,800 miles had the CEL come on 5 minutes after misfire shaking. I had driven the car a total of 2,500 miles and on extended trip no issues. This happened on cold start at 45 degree F the other day.

The dealer replaced ignition coil and spark plug for #4 and #5 cylinder and cleared the issue.

Can someone share the cylinder numbering order for 4.8 and also share a recommendation on lowest cost handheld diagnostic for pulling the codes.




I would like to be in a position when it happens again if on a trip to pull the code of misfire and replace with spare injector. I understand it can be done very easy with minimal tools. I fear that if two went bad due to age (no residue or leakage anywhere near them) that others may fault soon.

Thanks for the helpful replies
