i was driving home from the store today; hit the on ramp and the engine starting "pulsing" and ran rough when i came to a stop. i pulled the codes from bimmerlink and got this:
plug or coil?

Definitely start with plugs at that mileage. If you do decide to do coils, I recommend OEM Eldor branded ones.

I’d say you’re in for a good resolve either way. Let’s get you running right again

Is that oil on the plug? I can't tell just from the pic.
If it's oil, then the new plug may get covered in oil as well assuming some sort of leak like a valve cover.

Do yourself a favor and run a bottle of LiquiMoly DI Jectron through the next tank of fuel too.

I always wondered if this stuff (or similiar types) are somewhat of a snake oil kinda thing. I've never seen a convincing article or study done on them. That being said, i've never used it out of fearing it would shake/loosen a particulate in the system and cause issues.
