Have been
Chasing a fix but seems rather common especially in colder weather when starting up, which is my issue.
One possible fix I will do soon that I read about on an E53 forum is to replace my injector 'O' rings as they maybe dryed out in the 12 yrs....

Since you changed the coils and plugs, it just might be the stock tune. Mine was funky until I did an Active Autowerkes tune. It really helped, and the car felt faster.
